Oddly, I never did disable hal (maybe once) but I never could find a difference. Hal never worked right (Stanley Kubrick?). BTW, I find the use of the [] to show code is rather a pita as the lines are so wide that it is almost impossible to scroll through the code without using the scroll bars...

I just had a horrendous time getting xorg configured both with and without dual head (TwinView). Turn off the AllowEmptyInput. Read the xorg manual... believe me, you will find the answers there if you have the patience and can tweak your xorg.conf manually... that's what I had to do. I have 2...

Solved First, my card was made by MSI... so nv & the usual nvidia stuff does not agree with it, it would seem. But the nvidia-driver-173 from ports does work. The only solution to this messy and ridiculously muddled configuration source at xorg was a hit and miss method of trying and...

error (gmake): No rule to make target 'decode_i586.lo', needed by 'libmpg123.la' x( It worked before having to update everything... so, everything got updated... except... It seems to be more and more screwy to update and/or install programs...

I have tried Xorg -configure so many times I get ssick of hearing about it. It has never, ever worked for me just to get a basic startup of Xorg and that's with and without hal... inevitably it has been a patch check operation every time... and I am amazed that even then I get it to work. I have...

This may be complicated... can't find anything on gargle or forums that could cure the issue. Using from ports, nvidia-driver-173, which seems to the recommended one. The card has both vga and dvi outputs. I am using an LG Flatron W2361v flat panel for the primary monitor at 1920 x 1080 and an...

I have read UPDATING. No help there. I had difficulty installing php5 but finally got it going with help from posts here. The errors have to do with pcre.h ... Again!... about the same crap as for php5. I'd post the errors but don't know how to capture them without the hassle of printing it...

SOLVED pkg_info corrupted Thanks much. paean's code showed one port name and did clean all but one of those annoying messages. Running the code a second time did not remove the remaining message. Your code showed two lines: (don't recall exact message) intltool as the guilty party intltool...

When installing ports on 8.0-RELEASE-p2, I get a lot of these errors pkg_info: corrupted record (pkgdep line without argument), ignoring How do I get rid of this?

My CPU is a single P4 3ghz in slot 478 and the GENERIC kernel seems senses or does whatever as a SMP with cpu0 and cpu1. Does that screw up things? I don't suppose there is anything to be done to change this except dump the hardware and get something less obsolete... what a bummer... already...

Xorg works fine but shows errors on shutdown after using Firefox on Fluxbox. (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psm0 (EE) Mouse0: cannot open input device (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0" xmodmap: not found Warning: Cannot convert string "ni12" to type FontStruct psm0 is...

I've been wondering for some time now just what are the entries in dmesg followed by [GIANT-LOCKED], [ITHREAD], [FILTER]... On my server, FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2, CPU P4 3ghz, 4gb memory, X, fluxbox... In particular, the [GIANT-LOCKED] entries refer to nvidia0, atkbd0, psm0.

solved That my approach is chaotic is rather a childish response. The problem was that there is no information about what driver is correct for the installed card. In order to find it I had to deinstall and reinstall the nvidia-driver (luckily only 1 reinstall did it - without Linux support)...

solved Well, it looks like the guilty party for all this is the nvidia driver. I had to try different config options, like not checking the configure for Linux to finally get a message that cleared things up... the video card I have is not the latest and apparently requires the port...

How can I determine which GENERIC kernel is installed and which sources should be in /usr/src? I thought I had installed 8.0 stable. When installing, I only installed the minimal configuration. The /usr/src dirctory was empty. When an installation looked for sources, I csup'd the...

Quite right, they are chaotic because the installation is getting more and more chaotic by the minute. I rather think it makes sense to give some background so anyone looking at the problem can understand what has been done to try to rectify it. Ok, let's tackle problem #1 Can't start Xorg...

Why fat32? I only use XP (ntfs) and FBSD ufs... I guess the determining factor depends on the os being used. If I'm running FBSD, I can access any other disks or lan with samba. If I boot XP, then I'm floating alone and can's access the new partition unless it's ntfs (or fat32 ?) from XP...

So far, haven't found any solutions. This is a fresh installation; monitor is a widescreen LG W2361; driver should be "nvidia" but there is no nvidia.ko for the kernel. Supposedly the kernel is out of sync with the src. How is that? I mean, why wold it be out of sync? The install was from a...
