    Yet another hot laptop

    Ok, I applied your tips and the one I found on the page, but temperature stayed the same. I opened the laptop and the CPU didn't looked being too hot. However the GPU not far from the CPU was always too much hot, whether having Xorg running or not, or with tuning "radeon" driver options...

    Yet another hot laptop

    Of course, I will try to describe as precisely as possible my configuration. On the kernel side: $ uname -a FreeBSD nifelheim.ygg-drasil.fr 8.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #9: Fri Jun 18 12:49:02 CEST 2010 def@nifelheim.ygg-drasil.fr:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/VESAKERN amd64 The...

    Yet another hot laptop

    Hi, My laptop is always hot. The computer is an MSI GT729, powered by a Core 2 Quad @ 2Ghz an a Radeon 4850 graphics card. I followed various advice I found on this forum. Sysctl reports, the computer doing almost nothing: dev.cpu.0.freq: 800 dev.cpu.0.temperature: 52,0C...

    Xorg bugs using QT apps and radeon drivers

    Hi, Trying to run QT-based apps to process photo, I encountered two annoying bugs. First I got graphics corruption when scrolling in Digikam albums (pictures already on screen get randomly cut and duplicated in blocks, newly displayed pics are fine). Second, in Qtpfsgui/Luminance, loading...

    Server stops responding at 4AM

    Hi, No the mailbox is almost empty: it's just a fresh install with some jails (though I updated to 8-STABLE due to instability with if_vge, but the strange behavior "at 4AM" was already present). The server seems to work if I stop sendmail_clientmqueue, both in host and in "full system"...

    Server stops responding at 4AM

    No problem edwtjo. I tried many things: stopping cron, sendmail, jails... Stopping sendmail helped a lot, the server didn't stop for more than 2 days. After a few time, the hungry process started in a jail (it was "sh", I forgot to check the full commandline): I was still able to login as...

    Server stops responding at 4AM

    achix: no panics nor crashes. The system gets back to normal after issuing an explicit reboot if the process run in the host. If the process that ate 100% is in a jail, I can kill it. jailed: everytime I checked, it was "sh", running standard scripts from fresh freebsd installation, before...

    Server stops responding at 4AM

    Hi, I have set up a freebsd 8 server for personal use. I updated to 8-STABLE due to instability with the if_vge driver. Everything else seems to run fine (the layout is the following: the root system, and three jails: a service one running nginx as a proxy over the two other jails, which run...

    Dumbest computing mistake you've made?

    When I was 15, I assembled my first PC... CD drive got an audio out which had to be connected directly to the soundcard. The sound chipset was on the motherboard, near a jumper which looked really like the CD audio out connector... I didn't even had to insist, the cable got plugged really...

    Finished: CALL FOR TESTERS Intel wireless 5100/5300 iwn(4) driver for FreeBSD

    Hi, I compiled and loaded rev. 26 today, it works very well with wpa_supplicant on a WPA TKIP network (rev. 25 made the computer freeze). My hardware: iwn0@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x13018086 chip=0x42328086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device...

    radeonhd DRM/DRI with HD4850

    @adamk Oops, I just wanted to be helpful and I didn't even realize that you were the first to post an answer in the thread... Sorry, I will remember the next time ;). Concerning Mesa, I was indeed using the git version, but not this branch. @oliverh Nice to see how it works for you...

    radeonhd DRM/DRI with HD4850

    Hi adamk, On my box, compiz works surprinsingly well (except effects like blur which corrupt pixmaps or display RGB gradient) . However, Nexuiz still has some problem. All this with direct rendering. Configuration: FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE AMD64, GENERIC KERNEL on ATI HD4850. All information to...

    How can I share package files between jails ?

    Hi, I don't know what is the right way to do that. On a server, I run 5 jails, each having various ports installed (not service jails). They are used as virtual machines by different users (each jail having is own administrator). As some jails use the same package (e.g. apache and either...

    radeonhd DRM/DRI with HD4850

    Oh, excuse me. I just insisted on the fact that nexuiz was slower than usual for such cards. I agree, beside it it is "playable" (although it won't be fun at all to play under such conditions). Nothing unusual given announced driver status. :)

    radeonhd DRM/DRI with HD4850

    Ok, I upgraded to 8-STABLE. All problems are solved. "radeon" set-up the screen faster (lot of artifacts for a short-time with "radeonhd"), but seem a bit slower at 3D. Desktop experience is perfect. I tested nexuiz: too slow to be played, however rendering occurs well. Open-source drivers are...

    radeonhd DRM/DRI with HD4850

    Yep I know. My portstree was synced. I was using an up-to-date xf86-video-radeonhd-devel, but switched to xf86-video-radeonhd, after seeing your message: problem is exactly the same. dmesg now displays: info: [drm] Resetting GPU info: [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map info...

    radeonhd DRM/DRI with HD4850

    Thank you, that sounds good. I tried to apply patch (don't know the right way, I did: $ cd /usr/ports/graphics $ patch < patch-from-ml ), then I recompiled ports. Xorg starts, however, glxgears stops immediately and prints: drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected...

    radeonhd DRM/DRI with HD4850

    Hi, Never used freebsd as a desktop OS before 8.0. Xorg runs fine with "radeonhd" as driver. However, I can't get any 3D acceleration (OpenGL runs through software rasterizer). I tried a few tricks around 3D acceleration (drm.ko and radeon.ko are loaded, and "dri" "dri2" "glx" are specified...
