    How can I get direct rendering on FreeBSD 7.1 AMD64?

    Apparently drm does not support your model. It might be a simple matter of adding your device ID to the kernel. pciconf -lv|grep vgapci should show you the device ID. Then we can check weather it is listed in src/sys/dev/drm/drm_pciids.h. If not we should create a patch and if you test it...

    Ah, I see. Post it to http://nopaste.bsdforen.de and share the link here.

    How can I get direct rendering on FreeBSD 7.1 AMD64?

    How can it be, that you cannot post the log, if you can post? Just copy and paste it into a [code] Block.

    Enormous Fonts on HP Laptop FreeBSD 7.1

    Simple and plain, this is a bug. And I suspect it's a bug in a display driver. I remember this happening with radeon. I shall test it on another machine to know for sure.

    How can I get direct rendering on FreeBSD 7.1 AMD64?

    A little more information is necessary here. Let's start with the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

    Openoffice.org-3 Package

    Depending on weather you use portupgrade or portmaster you should run one of these commands: portmaster --check-depends pkgdb -F (for portupgrade) You should install those dependencies that cannot be mapped to newer versions. This will lead to a consistent package database. Unfortunately it...

    Boot sequence freeze : mounting /

    Well, it seems something got seriously damaged. I'd suggest to try to fsck from a fixit shell (running off a CD).

    Bad performance on FreeBSD 7.1 RELEASE AMD64

    dd bs=1m if=/dev/zero of=test count=1024 dd bs=1m if=test of=/dev/null You can check your file system read and write performance to get a clue weather this is a HD problem. The read command (2nd one) will read from the cache, so you might want to reboot and run it a second time to get your read...

    "asynchronous mount"

    I think the VFS is still GIANT locked.

    Openoffice.org-3 Package

    Honestly? OpenOffice always yields something unless you have certain entries in your /etc/libmap.conf. Do you? This is rather strange.

    3g speed

    kldload u3g should do it. Unplug your UMTS 3G device and plug it back in.

    3g speed

    If you're running current you just have to load the module.

    gnome is starting to SUCK

    You'd probably just of to run -a or -a to get your system into a consistent state. Some people just don't know that they mustn't mix new ports with outdated ones.

    Slow network speed issue

    Gigabit file transfers are often limited by the hard disk speed.

    -O vs -O2: Opinions Please

    I experimented A LOT with CFLAGS. I dug really deep into the gcc documentation and tried and benchmarked a lot. After all this testing it is my solemn conviction that the defaults are just fine and deviating from them is not worth the trouble.

    "asynchronous mount"

    This is outdated and imprecise information, you should ignore it. Ext3 is a journaling file system and its recovery works well. UFS2 uses soft updates, which should be just as safe and faster upon writing (though I think the GIANT remnants in the kernel eat that advantage), but recovery takes...

    Bad performance on FreeBSD 7.1 RELEASE AMD64

    I suppose your hard disk mode is misdetected. Run mode <dev> to check the detected mode. You can force change it with that command if the mode is wrong. On my system the output looks like that:# atacontrol mode ad4 current mode = SATA150 I have this line in my /etc/rc.local file, because my...

    Use a different Python version as default

    This little howto explains how to set another Python version as the default and update all python packages to follow the transition. As an example we will use Python 2.6 as the new default. Python 3.0 would probably not work, because it's incompatible with many of the Python 2.x software...

    prefix idea

    I am mystified about what you are trying to achieve. Why does every thread in the howto forum need to be marked as a howto (it wouldn't be in the howto forum if it wasn't)? And what do you gain by marking howtos as solved? Threads often start as a problem or question. Later they might turn into...
