First, I will apologize about my bad english... sorry. I've got an Acer Aspire 1605. NetBSD, OpenBSD and GNU/Linux run very well, and I can use the ethernet without any problem (a realtek 8139). But with FreeBSD 5.3 (also 4.11), I cannot use this. The load operation system run well, but is imposible to see the ethernet. I try with all boot options (with or without acpi, save mode, etc), but without any result. Here is it one post of this question in freebsd-current the last year: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-current/2004-August/033350.html And here another, when I was initiated the first thread about this: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-current/2004-April/026539.html Please, you can consider me a stupid, but I need to run FreeBSD in this laptop; I'm not confortable with GNU/Linux, and I think if netbsd, openbsd or GNU/linux are capables to run in this hardware, FreeBSD also. Thank you in advance.

Google and the FBSD mailing lists came up with nothing. Is there any workaround or experimental driver? A workstation without network connections is quite useless... must say, FreeBSD versions after 4.10 has been such disappointments regarding hardware support and system hangups that i'm seriously considering moving on to another *nix OS. --Ville From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Feb 25 14:17:12 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7C5D816A4CE for ; Fri, 25 Feb 2005 14:17:12 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.vslash.com (gambetta-2-82-67-185-6.fbx.proxad.net [82.67.185.6]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2A17543D5D for ; Fri, 25 Feb 2005 14:17:12 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from valery@vslash.com) Received: from [192.168.0.22] (oxe [192.168.0.22]) by mail.vslash.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 24CEB7E81A; Fri, 25 Feb 2005 15:19:05 +0100 (CET) Message-ID: <421F3355.9040502@vslash.com> Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 15:16:53 +0100 From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Val=E9ry?= User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Milford Whitaker References: <007301c51ac5$10aa4180$0302a8c0@WIPER2> In-Reply-To: <007301c51ac5$10aa4180$0302a8c0@WIPER2> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Mouse Locks UP X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 14:17:12 -0000 Does your mouse work with Fedex trucks ?!! :o) try to apply this patch : 1 - install the anti-truck gun fire. 2 - set up your atgf.conf file : anti_trucks_company="UPS" anti_trucks_action="DESTROY" anti_trucks_msg="I GOT IT" 3 - start the atgfd daemon 4 - Call UPS for a fake delivery 5 - Look at your window 6 - use your mouse safely now.

It will lock up until it gets about 500 feet from my location.

I'd like to be able to run the box continuously, but the HDD is too noisy to leave the system running for all of the time and specifically for the night. The BIOS of the motherboard supports automatic HDD shutdown in XX-minutes of inactivity. However, I have noticed that this doesn't work as intended with FreeBSD: if I set BIOS to shutdown HDD in two minutes of inactivity, and then I start FreeBSD without logging into the system, the disc stops after a few minutes, but it starts again after less than a few minutes due to some disc activity by FreeBSD. Out of services, I run apache, dhcpd, mysqld, sendmail, sshd etc. It's just a home server, so no-one is accessing it all the time. Is there a way to tweak the system to make it keep all of the modifications to the filesystem in memory, and not dump them until some specific time (let's say 09:00) each day, or until the memory is kind of exhausted? (Clearly, this has a disadvantage of the files being lost in case the power goes out, so I'll most likely need to have a UPS.) If something like that is possible, then how do I do that? I can recompile the kernel with no problems. P.S. I have a Pentium 4 1.8GHz Northwood on AOpen AX4G-N (i845g+ICH4) with 256MB DDR266. The HDD is IBM 60GXP IC35L040AVER07-0. There is plenty of free memory (193MB are usually free upon my first login into the system after a reboot), and the swap get's rarely used even when running X with mozilla for a little while. I could probably add more memory if that'll help (additional 256MB or 512MB, totalling to 512MB or 768MB). Thanks, Constantine.
