    Is there something like schroot on FreeBSD?

    I also installed wine in the chroot /compat/i386 environment but I use the following script to launch it: $ echo /usr/local/bin/wine #! /bin/sh #set -x wine32_prefix='/compat/i386/usr/local' wine32_lib="$wine32_prefix/lib" wine32_bin="$wine32_prefix/bin" wine32="$wine32_bin/wine"...

    Cannot print in Okular

    This is what I do as well. It seems dirty, but it makes programs like Okular print properly through cups. Not sure if it breaks anything else that expects lp* to be the FreeBSD versions.

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    I used to use the ttys method but it broke for me last week. I can't tell from your description if it was the same type of problem or not. I saw that the new recommended way to start kde4 is to add the following to rc.conf and leave ttys alone: local_startup="${local_startup}...

    How to achieve longest possible battery life

    That is true for CRTs, OLEDs, and some of the fancy intelligent LED backlit screens that actually reduce the backlight intensity when not required. Standard fluorescent and LED backlit screens use slightly more power to display a black screen compared to white.

    arm-elf-gcc295 broken?

    I don't think there's a port for it, but does gnuarm fit your needs? There are simple installation directions on the support page that worked well for me.

    The patch was applied upstream so it should work properly on the next release.

    Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 & Freebsd 7.1

    It appears to start up with F-Lock on. It appears that booting with a different keyboard and then switching back to this one somehow fixed it. I can't reproduce the behavior anymore.

    Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 & Freebsd 7.1

    After upgrading from Freebsd 7.0 to 7.1-RELEASE (GENERIC 1386), my Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 isn't working properly anymore. If I press scroll, caps, or num lock at a terminal, the system hangs for a minute or two before proceeding. I discovered that if I leave the keyboard unplugged...
