Programs that are built from ports use a work dir which resides inside its port directory, so /usr/ports/ The downloaded *.tar.gz's are placed in /usr/ports/distfiles/. FreeBSD sources are installed to /usr/src/ N.B. One can set WRKDIRPREFIX=</path/to/dir> in /etc/make.conf if you wish to...

As far as I know there is no default .xinitrc. If you used xinit to launch KDE then it would run instead of TWM. Sure, they're both fine in .xinitrc, you could (if you wanted) run them manually after X is up and running.

So unfortunately a dump | restore works as I expected it to (wine and games run correctly), which brings me no closer to why things didn't work before. The only thing I see on starting X when using the older GPU (GTS250) is (EE) JUL 28 18:32:39 NVIDIA(0): WAIT: (E, 0, 0X287d, 0) The only...

Try labelling the root partition and changing fstab to reflect? On an unmounted filesystem tunefs -L <label> /dev/da0s1a

A follow up on this. 2 days ago I got an Nvidia card (GT430) for an old box which I haven't used FreeBSD on until now as it had an ATI card. I set up 8.2-RELEASE on said box and installed exactly the same packages as those on the PC where wine/LotRO does work, it failed to run the...

This screencast about OpenSolaris' Timeslider gives a decent view of how ZFS snapshots work http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7oe8l_time-slider-screencast_tech

Easy way, http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/wine/ Otherwise use csup to get your src. csup -L 2 /root/standard-supfile

No not at all. I use wmii because I _want_ to use wmii, not because some opinionated fool thinks it's because of "obscurantism". This PC: AMD Phenom II 965 - 8GB RAM - GTS450 - 2x WD500GB RE4 | 3x Seagate 2TB

Go on, give a TWM a go, perhaps something even more minimalistic would be better, x11-wm/dwm for example?

Now you're going to start a Vi vs Emacs war ;) If I want a full desktop I'm partial to KDE4 however I also enjoy (and mainly use) x11-wm/wmii-devel.

Yeah OK :) wglgears does render albeit incorrectly due to the twitchiness. But I do think it's related to x11-servers/xorg-server-1.7.7_1,1 as that's what 9.0-CURRENT and 8.2-STABLE have in common, and no opengl games render on them. 8.2-RELEASE with xorg-server-1.7.5_1,1, however, is fine.

Running wglxgears on 8.2-RELEASE (same nvidia driver and wine version) results in GL_RENDERER = GeForce GTS 250/PCI/SSE2 GL_VERSION = 3.3.0 NVIDIA 270.41.19 GL_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation GL_EXTENSIONS = <snip> 47515 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9503.000 FPS 53302 frames in 5.0 seconds =...

On 8.2-STABLE they render differently to the mesa-demo glxgears. The large gear rotates back and forth ie 11 to 1 o/c instead of a smooth clockwise rotation.

Output from wine ./wglgears -info GL_RENDERER = GeForce GTS 250/PCI/SSE2 GL_VERSION = 3.3.0 NVIDIA 270.41.19 GL_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation GL_EXTENSIONS = <snip> 34409 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6881.800 FPS 35292 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7058.400 FPS 35475 frames in 5.0 seconds =...

I get this code from both 8.2-STABLE and 8.2-RELEASE. PyLotRO is the handler for the actual game, allows for changing servers, patching etc. [~] % wine /export/data/wine/LotRO/drive_c/Program\ Files/PyLotRO/pylotro.exe freebsd.gftm.eu:10:47 err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP...

Over the weekend I rebuilt this box to track 8.2-STABLE and it appears changes between xorg versions breaks Wine. I'd been playing Lord of the Rings Online for a while with no issues at all on 8.2-RELEASE. When LotRO loads there's a DirectX9 load screen before the main options screen is...

Aye, you'll want to enable that.

On this board it's under Secure Virtual Machine Mode, you might find it under that/AMD-V or some other setting regarding virtualization.
