Message from linux_base-c6-6.8:
This software is based in part on the work of the FreeType Team.
See <URL:[URL]http://www.freetype.org/>[/URL].
Installation of the Linux base system is finished. The Linux kernel
mode, which must be enabled for Linux binaries to run, is now
enabled. Linux mode can be enabled permanently with the linux_enable
variable of rc.conf(5).
----------------------
You should enable Linux mode with the linux_enable variable of rc.conf(5).
Depending on the version of FreeBSD you are using you may have to increase
the emulated linux version via compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 in
sysctl.conf(5). Check via "sysctl compat.linux.osrelease" that it shows a
lower version number before setting it.
----------------------
If you want to use shared memory in Linux applications, you need to set up
a link from /dev/shm to a suitable place, e.g. by adding the following line
to /etc/devfs.conf (takes effect on each boot):
link /tmp shm
To make use of NIS you have to adjust yp.conf and nsswitch.conf in
/compat/linux/etc/ accordingly. For example:
Set your yp-server and yp-domainname in yp.conf:
domainname my.yp.domainname
ypserver my.yp.server
Let your lists for hosts, passwd and group be resolved via nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
hosts: files dns nis
WARNING: doing work which needs to chroot into the linux base may not work.
In such cases (e.g. cross-development) you are better suited with a linux_dist
port.
Message from nvidia-driver-304-304.128:
To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel
module, by doing
# kldload nvidia
or adding
nvidia_load="YES"
to your /boot/loader.conf.
If you build this port with FreeBSD AGP GART driver, make sure you have
agp.ko kernel module installed and loaded, since nvidia.ko will depend
on it, or have your kernel compiled with "device agp". Otherwise, the
NVidia kernel module will not load. Also, please set correct value for
``Option "NvAGP"'' in ``Device'' section of your X11 configuration file.
When building with Linux compatibility support, make sure that linux.ko
module is available as well (or have it compiled in kernel). It can be
loaded via /boot/loader.conf, or later in the boot process if you add
linux_enable="YES"
to your /etc/rc.conf.
If X.org cannot start and reports
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier.
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log while actually you have ``options SYSVSHM''
enabled in kernel, the sysctl ``kern.ipc.shmall'' should be increased.
