Sound is one of the few things I think OpenBSD does better than FreeBSD. OpenBSD recognized and set up correctly my crummy Realtek soundcard out of the box, including the super buggy audio jack (which works like crap even under Windows); to get it working on FreeBSD I had to do the usual...

This, I've an Inspiron 5567 with ALC256 and I also had to apply a small patch to make the creaking noises stop. Thankfully it has been merged upstream, so I hope it will land in some dot release further down the road.

I'm having a slew of issues with iwm WiFi on my Dell Inspiron 5567 being slow and randomly disconnecting when the access point is far or the signal is not very strong. In particular, I'm experiencing random connection losses when connected to public WiFis with multiple access points (I've...

This laptop shipped with Win7, so it has no Secure boot. In the Setup there is no option whatsover about legacy modes or anything - I think you're right about the fact it doesn't think you would want to boot with MBR if you have an EFI partition with bootloaders in it. I suppose I will have to...

I have a laptop (Asus N56VZ), with an American Megatrends BIOS/UEFI - quite standard I think. Yes, compatibility mode exists (I can boot from USB and CDs without /EFI directories so it's definitely present), but after installing the protective MBR in this way from the live CD: gpart bootcode -b...

I cannot find CSM modality in my UEFI settings - I think it's not supported by this firmware.

I am trying to install the last FreeBSD release into a GPT partition (ada0p9, on an AHCI SATA HDD). Setup itself is successful, but I have no idea how to boot FreeBSD. I know that a UEFI bootloader is in the works and has been merged into HEAD; but how can I boot the current release without...

Removing all X packages and reinstalling them again I've solved any problem, now fluxbox runs well. Thanks again for patience.

No errors, I've tried to replace radeon with vesa but I've got no results. And dmesg -a seems clean - just few errors from an external hdd which I've altrady tried to unplug. It seems like a bug, I think.

I was just working with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE with opera and abiword on fluxbox, and everything was just fine. Then, without doing anything (no pkg add/delete, no updates, any modification to config files), fluxbox stopped working correctly: menu appears on right-click, then I can't select any...

When I try to input unicode characters (like è,ù,ü) in xterm or urxvt, the system bell rings like when I press a wrong character. There's no UTF support in FreeBSD? EDIT: Solved setting LC_ALL before any x terminal command LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" xterm

Yes, I access my box via ssh.

I've already tried it but it haven't worked for me. Thanks a lot to everybody for the patience :)

Do you have Solaris on it? You could try to boot FreeBSD using Solaris grub, with a command like insmod ufs2 set root=(hdx,x,s) kfreebsd /boot/kernel/kernel kfreebsd_loadenv /boot/device.hints set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/adNsNs set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw...

So, there's no way to change its behavior?

But I can't understand why those lines are shown with that weird chars...

When I use a curse/dialog like console program (like sysinstall or finch), boxes are drawn using strange characters (like Ä or ³) instead of normal lines. I think it could happen because my TERM variable (that is now set as cons25) is wrong...

I've already done it, it just do nothing! When I press backspace I expect that the character on the left of the cursor will be deleted, and the right one when I press Del. In both cases, the left char is the one to be deleted, even if I try to set other values for erase or erase2, the only...

So, how can I fix it?

Even if I try to use ctrl-v, every tentative to set an alternative behavior to del key fails.
