Thank you. I ended up installing the graphics/intel-backlight package and it works. But I am now facing random reboots. I think the reboots only happen if I have Xorg running. It might me think my hardware is not fully supported, or something is not reconfigured properly.

Thank you. pastebin from xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/ZTUPz6Qd pastebin from Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/vUwjfgVr Hope somebody here can help me to solve this issue. I also read somewhere about acpi_video and xbacklight which I dont know how to use them at the moment. But when I issue...

Thank you. I solved the panic by choosing some of the booting options so I was able to removed the line on the boot loader configuration, but I still have the problem of going into a black screen whenever I start X. I appreciate all advice.

I had successfully installed FreeBSD 10.2 to my laptop and I had set up Xfce to work with, it was fine. I have no idea what happened but since the last two weeks whenever I startx the screen would just go black and I wasn't able to switch to a console to try to troubleshoot from there I was...

Thank you for checking. It is unfortunately, for now I will be able to get connected by using a USB wireless adapter. Although my problem is solved by using the adapter I hope FreeBSD includes native support in future releases for the actual wireless card in the laptop. If somebody is wondering...

Thank you I appreciate that. When I do pciconf -lv I get: alc0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0xff1e1179 chip=0x10901969 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR8162 Fast...

Hi, hope everybody is enjoying a better day than I have so far. I recently installed FreeBSD 10.2 in a Toshiba Satellite C50-A. After installation I wanted to get connected to the internet so I issued the command ifconfig then the output showed this alc0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>...

Thank you for your reply. What I meant is that when I insert the USB wireless adapter to the computer and boot the computer still there is not connection to Wi-Fi. Not even the LED indicating that the USB is working flashes at all. Perhaps there is no support for this device in FreeBSD just...

Thank you. I haven't really try the FreeBSD urtwn(4) I think all I need to do is create a /boot/loader.conf file with the line if_urtwn_load="YES" save it and test the adapter. I will do that when I get home this afternoon and report back. Thank you Edit: Tried that and it didn't work.

Hi. Thank you for the reply, I got the package from the OpenBSD people. Basically what I am looking for is to make my wireless adapter work with FreeBSD 10. The adapter I have is a TP-Link TL-WN725N, which uses rtl8188eu. I will appreciate further advice thank you.

I am trying to install the driver for a wireless adapter to be use in my laptop. I downloaded the package to my downloads directory but I haven't found a way to install it using the pkg tool. The package is urtwn-firmware-1.1p2.tgz. How can I install it? The pkg man page mentioned nothing about...

Thank you, problem solved. I am now fully updated. Editing/usr/local/etc/pkg.config and /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf really helped. Also I uninstalled the conflicting packages as suggested on post #14, except for lang/perl which I solved by issuing # pkg set -o...

warnings I did converted all the package a while back and I did issue the upgrade command with the -fy argument. I am using FreeBSD 9.2, 32 bit with GNOME2 and I have a few extra applications like Firefox, VLC, Thunderbird, I installed Flash player too for YouTube. I appreciate all advice...

Big thank you for all the help. I finally got pkg to completed the downloads. Once it was done though it says checking integrity, then just gave me a lot of warnings and it didn't upgrade any of the packages. I looked for a way to solve the conflicts but could find anything. I will appreciate...

Thank you @Beastie, and all. After seeing the above post (post #7) I went and edited my /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf file to look like #packagesite: http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org/freebsd-9-i386/latest #packagesite: http://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/mirror/packages/9.1-RELEASE/i386/ packagesite...

Thank you. Yes, the connection works for everything else if you see on my original post I am following the instructions posted on that link which states Note step #2 suggesting to get rid of /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf Thank you I appreciate all advice.

Any guide on how to use that repo? I need to be able to use pkg because portmaster and portupgrade aren't doing it for me I did Create the file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf with: FreeBSD: { url: "http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest", mirror_type: "srv", enabled: "yes" } and got...

I did all the steps suggested on that link and when I run pkg. I getpkg: Invalid configuration format, ignoring the configuration file Then it runs and identifies what packages need to be upgraded, but then it stops and says pkg...

I found this announcement very useful about getting binary packages for FreeBSD: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2013-October/001510.html. However there is a part of the instructions that I can't figure out what file to edit to include the mirrors. Can somebody please...
