Hello,
I am new to FreeBSD(laptop)/PC-BSD(desktop), I was (and still am) using Linux until I fell in love with BSD
I resolved many things but there are a few which I still can't resolve, here they are:
1) Mounting Ext3/Ext4 filesystems
- Dolphin told me (well Hal told me...) that
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: mount /dev/ext2fs/backup: Operation not permitted.
- If I try to mount Ext3 partition with mount -t ext2fs /dev/ext2fs/backup /mnt/backup it will do something, but when I ls /mnt/backup I get ls: /mnt/backup: Bad file descriptor.
I have e2fsprogs installed.
- If I try to mount Ext4 partition with mount -t ext2fs /dev/ext2fs/data /mnt/data I get "WARNING: mount of ext2fs/data denied due to unsupported optional features"
- Both - FreeBSD 64bit 7.1 (latest) GENERIC and PC-BSD 32bit Galileo (latest) GENERIC
- Dmesg clean
2) Mounting Reiserfs filesystems
- If I try to mount reiserfs filesystem with mount -t reiserfs /dev/ad4s2 /mnt/system I get "Read-only file system" and it won't mount it. I can only mount it read-only with -o ro. I have rfstool installed.
- FreeBSD 64bit 7.1 (latest) GENERIC
- Dmesg is clean
3) Intel wireless 5100 AGN
- I didn't find any useful informations, only that this driver isn't available yet (it is quiet newer card).
- I tried ndisgen for generating the module. It will show me, that INF file appears to be ASCII and SYS file appears to be in Windows PE format - I have no idea what does it mean, but it will generate the module without problem.
Kldload will load it propertly, bud ifconfig won't show me any new interface.
- FreeBSD 64bit 7.1 (latest) GENERIC
- Dmesg is (wellaway) clean
4) Choppy xserver
- This is really the last problem, I promise
- My Xserver under PC-BSD 32bit (Galileo version) with NVidia drivers is choppy when I am (for example) moving windows.
Nvidia driver version is 180.44. Glxgears will show me about 1700 FPS and sometimes get stucked, if I try to move the window with gears I am glad that the xserver don't fall down. Choppy is also the desktop switching, moving windows, sometimes cursor. It doesn't matter for using Firefox, Pidgin etc. but for more graphical work it is unuseable.
- I tried to change some values in xorg.conf and also tried to change something with sysctl (things that Google told me), but nothing resolved the problem.
- PCBSD 32bit Galileo (latest) GENERIC
- Dmesg is clean
I would be really happy if somebody can help me with these problems. FreeBSD and PC-BSD are great systems, thank you!
