Weird part is, this is the stuff I did... First I tried with xorg.conf, no go. Then with .xinitrc, same problem. But I'll start over from scratch, with more attention and maybe with more luck. Thanks all!

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't want to set up DHCP at home, it's just another security hole in my opinion, and I don't have control over what goes on in the office. On linux I use 'fallback': if the primary (home) network is not available, it falls back to the office one. Is this a...

Hello, I just installed FreeBSD on my laptop, and I have a problem I can't seem to solve with my wifi card. I use the laptop at home as well as in my office, and obviously I'd like it to connect automatically to the appropriate network. However, my office uses DHCP with WPA-PSK, while at...

Hello, I'm a long-time linux user just migrating to FreeBSD, so please be patient. :) My problem is (well, one of my problems is) that I can't seem to set the keyboard layout permanently in X. I installed and configured FreeBSD just fine, installed X with some minimal problems (I'm still...

Hello, something just keeps bothering me, and it's likely a stupid question, but bear with me. Is it possible to install x86 FreeBSD, and then, sometime when we get a 64-bit driver for NVIDIA cards, change it to 64-bit? I mean without reinstalling, but - for lack of a better word - rather...

Thanks, that's a reasonable time, and I googled the issue, and was positively surprised on NVIDIA's attitude. (Again, it's quite possible I'm lagging behind the events, but it was nice to see collaboration from the company)

Well, then backup it is. Thanks for the replies! (How in the world do I edit the first post to show "solved"?)

As soon as they start to develop and port stuff I'm interested in (like WoW, EVE Online, and a bunch of other stuff, both online and single player), I might think about buying a console. However, until then, I'm kinda stuck with my PC. And it's not even that, why shouldn't I use FreeBSD to...

Hello, I've been looking up on stuff before I make my choice to install FreeBSD. I ran into a problem, which was/is a pain under linux, but it seems becoming an obstacle here as well: I have an ATI HD3850 card, and the chances to change it to an NVIDIA, although I want to, are pretty slim. On...

Yes, myquestion was that if I could use my existing ext4 partition as-is. ;) Problem is, I really have no way to backup my data. :( I have a swap partition, a 6GB root partition, 10G for /usr and the rest (cca. 140GB) is my /home directory with my stuff. Now 140GB is a lot to backup... :P I...

Hello guys, I'm considering trying out FreeBSD on my computer, and I have a question. My private stuff (not that private though, my /home folder, basically) is on a seperate partition using ext4 filesystem. (Currently I'm running Gentoo) Will I be able to use that partition in FreeBSD, do I...
