I upgraded from 8.something to 9.0-CURRENT and now my sound is acting up. I can no longer type "mixer =rec mic" and have the sound input be assigned to what's attached to the mic jack. Here's the output of some commands: $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit...

http://www.selasky.org/hans_petter/video4bsd/ My netbook's camera works with this, but I can't see how to make it work with Skype. I think it's because Skype is a Linux binary, but if there's some way to make mplayer work that might help...

I use fvwm2 as my window manager and aterm as my terminal. Writing what Daisuke_Aramaki wrote but with 'aterm' and 'Aterm' instead of 'urxvt' did not work. Any other suggestions?

I installed x11-fonts/inconsolata-ttf because the font gets rave reviews but I've had no luck getting it to work with any application. xlsfonts and xfontsel didn't see it, a bit of fussing with mkfontdir and mkfontscale got xfontsel to show me a 17(!) point version but there was no way to scale...

You are my hero, dude. I was this close to installing Xandros back on this thing, and now I can use the laptop the way it was designed to be used. Wooo! :-)

This worked beautifully! Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to testing it over the next few days...

Any idea when this might happen? My Asus Eee PC 1000 is effectively a paperweight until the wireless works, as the places I need to use it don't have wired ethernet. :-(

Yeah, I noticed bad performance with instant messaging. Hmm, wonder why? I wonder if it'd help to find copies of those two files?

Thank you so much, thuglife. :-) I installed your drivers and had near-complete success. The only problem I had was that DHCP doesn't do the right thing when the machine boots. I have to start it after logging in with this command: sudo /etc/rc.d/dhclient start wlan0 And it gets an...

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132238 I opened a PR five months ago and nothing's happened since.

I tried this earlier in the thread and had no success -- hopefully you will succeed where I failed. It's not in 8.0-BETA2 either. :-(

Disney heroines for me! Firewall: mulan. Media server: ariel. Desktop suitable for LAN parties: portabelle. Asus Eee laptops: teeenk and eeeve. I once had a server named duchess supporting several xterminals named marie, toulouse, and berlioz. Two other historically notable...

I can crash FF3.5 by trying to delete all my spam in gmail with the link (not the select and button) which is a new change from the old FF3 beta. Other than that and the addons not keeping up, I'm pleased.

I have a Vista desktop which has Eclipse installed along with the Subclipse plugin and the Android SDK. I want to install the same software on my FreeBSD 8.0 laptop. I installed Eclipse from the port but I am having trouble installing the Subclipse plugin. I added the correct URL but get the...

I have been hoping my laptop's wireless card would be supported for some time. If I could do it myself, I would, but I haven't any experience in kernel drivers, only applications and those not as impressive as other folks might have. I'd heard somewhere that other projects have "bounties" --...

I am trying to use FreeBSD to manage my Make Controller Kit v1.0 board. The MCK has a VID:PID of 0x03eb:0x6124 when unflashed and 0xeb03:0x0920 when flashed. I have to stop and restart hald after flashing or erasing the MCK or else the software I'm using gets confused. Is this expected...

The ports devel/cross-binutils and devel/cross-gcc did exactly what I needed. I was very pleased with how easy it was to build them but I just wish it had been better documented...

The modern way appears to be with devel/cross-binutils and devel/cross-gcc -- I found this by wandering around, is it documented anywhere?

I have two systems, one running 7.2-PRERELEASE (yeah, fixing that) and one running 8.0-CURRENT as of last week. Neither of them can build the arm-elf-gcc295 port. Both of them fail when the port looks for i386-unknown-freebsd8.0-ar (well, the 7.2 one fails with 7.2 instead of 8.0) and when I...

An update: it works fine if I set my home access point to WPA-PSK and TKIP. Bleah.
