@kreyszig Thanks for providing more details. The dependencies do make it more involved than the 'distribute a single chunk of work' case, but you can remove those details from the thread handling itself, and still simplify synchronization. [ For simplicity, I'll assume you have prior...

@CodeBlock You don't say exactly which logitech model this is (sadly, it matters). There was a similar thread here. Arch and Gentoo have good keycode lists for most models (that should transfer across assuming your particular model has decent kernel support, which isn't a given). Please...

Depends on what you're happy to accept as 'efficient enough'. If this is a one-shot computation, and you have no need to scale beyond two threads, and the work being done by each thread is sufficient to hide all overhead, then it may well be worth correcting the code above. If not (i.e. if...

Thanks for the update Joel. Konstantin has done some excellent work, and it's good to hear it'll be included in 8.0. Sadly, it will be too late for me. I'd planned on moving all my machines over to FreeBSD (mix of development workstations, desktops and servers) but, after a long...

Heh, pretty old bug :) Anyway, the issue, and solution, are described here. Hope that helps. I just patched 7.2-RELEASE with the code above and have a usable keyboard once again. Seems things were broken in June 2007, and this patch reverts things to an earlier (working) state. Pro...

That might work if I had that option, but the motherboard on this particular machine (Asus P4P800) doesn't. I'm pretty sure a patch that would address this was posted years ago, but was never integrated. No keyboard support == no fun. This machine has sat pretty idle since things broke, and...

It seems this was still not addressed for the 7.2-RELEASE :( However, the instructions posted above can still be used to correct things (just verified on 7.2-RELEASE). NOTE: You may as well grab the very latest version which adds support for Envy24HT-S audio (Terrasoniq TS22PCI). Just use...

Yes, webfonts has everything you need except the config(s). I mentioned the site as it highlights the two extremes, and provides example configs to go 'sharp' if that's what you prefer. DejaVu is (to me) an excellent font for general use. So much so that I use it as the exclusive preferred...

http://cslibrary.stanford.edu/102/ and http://cslibrary.stanford.edu/ in general, might help if you're just getting started.

Sounds like you prefer sharper (ms-style) fonts, without much antialiasing. Nothing wrong with that. However, once things are working a bit better for you, you might want to play around with the quality settings rather than disabling them completely. Some combinations work better for certain...

Yup, and I've done that in the past, but I ended up going back to this way. I distro swapped quite a lot in the past (work/home-desktop/home-development/laptop), and was always annoyed by config differences between them, particularly when one suddenly decides to change their 'default' *cough*...

FWIW, my experiences so far (also coming from linux)... If you're an update-a-holic, you'll quickly end up installing from source. Packages can take a while to become available. I've swapped between manual, portupgrade and portmaster. I'm currently with portmaster as it seems to have more...

I run a light desktop, currently openbox, and prefer to set things up through config files rather than relying on settings managers. In the case of fonts, this allows much more refined control, consistent across all apps, system wide. It's possible to control settings per font family, per...

Here's what I get after a clean boot (also 7.1, fully up-to-date)... [mart@bsddesktop ~]$ swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/ad10s1b.eli 4158768 0 4158768 0% [mart@bsddesktop ~]$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep "eli\|crypto" [mart@bsddesktop ~]$ cat...

google x11-input.fdi input.xkb.layout input.xkb.variant but don't blame me if things get even uglier... :) --- Edit: I wish there were FreeBSD resources like this... http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging Yes, yes, I know it's not FreeBSD, but much of it is...

You seem to have made your choice, but for what it's worth... 1. Figure out what your requirements really are. Be very specific. 2. Determine if all requirements are best fulfilled with a single OS and/or a single install. This is almost always not the case - separation of tasks is a...

I'm afraid it's not quite as simple as that. At least, not for everyone. The biggest discussion I've found on the 7.4 updating issues is here and on the freebsd-x11 mailing list (webified archive here). I'd imagine the devs would prefer to hear of new experiences via the mailing list...

mpd works incredibly well for this type of thing. I can access my music from anywhere, perfect gapless, multiple formats, huge selection of interfaces, mature etc. Not a real answer to your question, but an alternative perhaps?

I can confirm this, but it's slightly different for me... 1. For me, the issue has been happening since later 7.0 versions also, not just 7.1. It may go back further, but my first exposure to FBSD was around 7.0-p6. 2. My system hangs for ~2 seconds (not minutes) each time I press Caps...

Partly solved: I've figured out how to avoid device reordering, which means I can impose more restrictive devfs.conf rules (i.e. permit access to only this specific device, rather than all passthrough devices). It also means I can separate usb thumb drive and dvd burner permissions easily, and...
