Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I suppose I should really be asking the XFree86 folks. Still. I am considering purchasing a ViewSonic VP-181 LCD monitor to replace my old chunk of garbage. Depending on where you look on ViewSonic's site, the resolution is either 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. Either is fine with me. :-) One nice feature is that it has dual inputs. So I can start off with my ATI VGA card controlling it, and later perhaps shift to a digital VGA card. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with Digital VGA cards (presumably with a different interface specially made for controlling LCD monitors). Has anyone been there and done that? Can any such person offer any advice? Thanks in advance.

This has a digital interface, and is a big win. Here's why: In a typical video card, you've got a RAMDAC being fed 24 bit RGB samples from the frame buffer (8 bits each red, green and blue). The RAMDAC converts these sample to analog voltages for each pixel; it needs to do this really damn fast to keep up with the frame rate of the monitor. So, now you've got these 3 analog voltages zinging their way down the wire into your monitor. On a "real" CRT, each of these voltages drives and amplifier which modulates the electron beam current which excites the phosphers on the screen of your display, which then produces the image of pornography on your screen :-) This is done for each of red, green and blue, otherwise the skin tones are not accurately reproduced. On an LCD monitor, there is no electron death beam exciting the phosphers; instead there is an analog-to-digital converter sampling each of the R,G and B voltages. This is then used to drive the LCD shutter on each pixel. There's two problems here: first, you're trying to recover the value of the pixel through a D/A and then A/D conversion process which is going to lose precision. Further, you're only estimating where the pixel is on the screen; e.g., the dot pitch of the actual display and how that's mapped to the varying voltage of the analog signal. The digital flat panel displays fix both of these problems. First, there is no tedious conversion of the pixel value to and from an analog voltage; you simply convey that to the display as bits, eliminating the need for the high-speed RAMDAC on the video display card and the high-speed ADC in the LCD display. Further, you can precisely address each pixel on the display since you're explicitly clocking out the RGB values for each pixel. This gives you an extraordinarily sharp display, (even compared to "analog" LCD panels) resulting in unparalleled high quality display of Internet pornography :-) That's background on why you want to do it. The how is harder to explain. The SGI 1600SW is usually sold paired with a Number 9 Revolution IV graphics board which has the digital display interface (as well as analog VGA output). When this display was first produced, there were no standards for the nature of the digital display interface, so your choices of display adapters was limited. Since then, a display interface was "standardized", but it seems that only recently have these things hit the market. So you need to be careful to investigate these interoperability issues before purchasing. If I had to guess, the Viewsonic monitor probably sports the newer standard interface; it would be interesting to see if anyone is shipping video cards which support it yet. So most of the experience so far has been with the proprietary digital interface on the SGI display. I don't know what the issues might be with the ViewSonic specifically. From the web page, the VP-181 looks very, very nice. If you can get a video card with the digital interface, life only gets that much better.. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sun Apr 2 14:47:48 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from cage.tse-online.de (cage.tse-online.de [194.97.69.170]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 2A88737B617 for ; Sun, 2 Apr 2000 14:47:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ab@cage.tse-online.de) Received: (qmail 82716 invoked by uid 1000); 2 Apr 2000 21:50:15 -0000 Date: Sun, 2 Apr 2000 23:50:15 +0200 From: Andreas Braukmann To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Motherboards for 2u Rack mounts Message-ID: <20000402235015.G65606@cage.tse-online.de> References: <20000330135141.A89018@lunatic.oneinsane.net> <200003302250.OAA09599@whistle.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i In-Reply-To: <200003302250.OAA09599@whistle.com>; from ambrisko@whistle.com on Thu, Mar 30, 2000 at 02:50:05PM -0800 Organization: TSE GmbH - Neue Medien Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, On Thu, Mar 30, 2000 at 02:50:05PM -0800, Doug Ambrisko wrote: > Ron 'The InSaNe One' Rosson writes: > | servers are going to be housed in 2u rack mount cases.

There is no support for any USB cameras in FreeBSD. If you want a webcam, you will have to buy a PAL or NTSC camera, and buy a Bt848/Bt878 based TV Card to grab the video. This has been used my many people including myself. As for USB support, over in linux-land, there is support for cameras using the CPiA chipset and the Omnivision OZ511 chipset, which covers the Creative WebCam II and III plus many many OEM cameras. But nothing has been done to write drivers/port drivers over to BSD Unix.

Yes there is some interest but at the moment myself and the driver maintainer lack the ability use our IDA/IDA-2 adapters to debug this problem.

You didn't say how far the fiber run is, but if it's not too far you can easily run 100Mbps full duplex ethernet between a pair of switches. If your switches don't have fiber ports then you need a pair of media converters to convert 100 BaseFX to 100 BaseTX. FX is fiber, TX is copper. Put one at each end between the switch and the fiber. You can find these at DataComm Warehouse (warehouse.com) or probably any number of other vendors. 62.5/125 is your garden variety multi-mode fiber. Make sure your media converters are spec'd for that fiber type. There are others. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Tue Apr 4 13:47:44 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from orion.ac.hmc.edu (Orion.AC.HMC.Edu [134.173.32.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BE3AB37B77C for ; Tue, 4 Apr 2000 13:47:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from brdavis@orion.ac.hmc.edu) Received: (from brdavis@localhost) by orion.ac.hmc.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA06254; Tue, 4 Apr 2000 13:47:29 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 13:47:29 -0700 From: Brooks Davis To: Daniel Eischen Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Connecting two sites with fiber Message-ID: <20000404134729.B23888@orion.ac.hmc.edu> References: <200004042020.QAA03707@pcnet1.pcnet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0pre4i In-Reply-To: <200004042020.QAA03707@pcnet1.pcnet.com>; from eischen@vigrid.com on Tue, Apr 04, 2000 at 04:20:16PM -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Tue, Apr 04, 2000 at 04:20:16PM -0400, Daniel Eischen wrote: > > I've got a fiber connection between two buildings and need to setup > networks in each building so they can talk to each other at full-duplex > fast ethernet speeds. > > I know very little about fiber connections.

I'm not expert, but poking around with google in in my new Black Box catalog seems to indicate that you've got standard plenum rated multi-mode fiber. The "62 5/125" part probably refers to the standard 62.5um/125um glass. The OFNP is it's UL rating. Since it's plenum rated, it burns more slowly then normal plastic cable and the smoke is less toxic. This stuff should run 100Mbps no problem. You should be able to connect two NICs with multi-mode fiber trancievers (either onboard or external) or two switches with no problem. I don't think there is much fiber out there that doesn't do 100Mbps. You do often need better fiber to Gigabit Ethernet and you'll definatly need it for 10 Gigabit Ethernet in 2001. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I was looking for any information about IDE to SCSI emulation using FreeBSD (which seems to be non-existent--let me know if I'm wrong) and I noticed several postings to this list talking about BIOS problems causing and IDE drive to be identified incorrectly. If I am not mistake, FreeBSD (and other UNIX flavors) does not give a crap about what your BIOS says about your hard disk. I have an old Gateway 486/33 with a BIOS that doesn't recognize any hard disks over 524MB (or somewhere there abouts). I have FreeBSD up and running on it with a 3.2GB drive. I have told the BIOS that is a 162MB drive, but FreeBSD recogizes my drive as full 3.2GB and everything works like a champ. Any questions, comments, additions, or complaints?

Looks like your memory (RAM) is ok since the problem went away after you disabled internal caching. But sometimes this is not ture. You should check the BIOS (under power management in AWARD BIOS, e.g.), to see if any errors on voltage, temperature, etc., to make sure all motherboard setting is correct. e.g., if MB temperature is above 39C, or CPU temperature is higher than 67C, you may check the vent. and the CORE voltage. I have some 400/450/475, but not 500, K6 II/III 3D CPUs, and they work every well under FreeBSD as well as under Liuux (tested). Just curious for you hardware configuration, due to some funny 64MB memory chip I just discovered. A piece of memory may work on two MB well, does marginal work on one type of MB, and failed on another type of MB. Why? because of the MB design. If you still have the problem, you may tell us more detailed information: such as, What is your memory brand and speed? What is your motherboard and what is the bus speed setting? -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Apr 5 14:48:57 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from server.baldwin.cx (jobaldwi.campus.vt.edu [198.82.67.146]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8A6CA37BA46; Wed, 5 Apr 2000 14:48:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Received: from john.baldwin.cx (john [10.0.0.2]) by server.baldwin.cx (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA02842; Wed, 5 Apr 2000 17:48:24 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from jhb@FreeBSD.org) Message-Id: <200004052148.RAA02842@server.baldwin.cx> X-Mailer: XFMail 1.4.0 on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <001901bf9f36$09ce2b20$0200000a@rvi.org> Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2000 17:48:23 -0400 (EDT) From: John Baldwin To: Mike Bush Subject: RE: fatal 3D-Now?

If the L2 then it sounds like your L2 cache might be messed up, which you may be able to fix with new cache memory or a new motherboard, depending on how it is messed up.

They need to be the same for all systems on the net, and 255.255.255.240 is decidely unusual. The default for net 192.168.0 is 255.255.255.0.

Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 10:27:46 -0400 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.0.28] Content-Type: text/plain MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <0004061320410I.00996@spanky.theseus.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Supporting non-commodity mainboard chipsets (2/4-way memory, multiple-PCI) in Linux ... I've dabbled in some searches on the 450GX chipset and glanced through the kernel source code, but I was wondering if someone could give me the "straight shot" to understanding non-commodity mainboard chipsets in non-Windows OSes (Linux, FreeBSD, etc...), or unpatched/unsupporting Windows OSes. E.g., server chipsets like the Intel 450GX, the ServerWorks' (fka Reliance Computer Corporation) new ServerSet IIILE/HE/WS chipsets with multiple memory busses and multiple PCI busses. The main driving force behind my inquiry is the ServerWorks ServerSet IIIHE which powers the new Tyan S1867DLUAN Thunder 2500 (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/s1867.html). This product is finally going to bring high-performance I/O to a sub-$1,000 mainboard c/o the ServerSet IIIHE. It's about time as I am sick of seeing vendor after vendor just use a commodity i440BX/GX solution with a single 64-bit memory channel, and a single, shared 32-bitx33MHz PCI bus (the IIIHE is a 4-way memory, although I think Tyan uses only 2-way so it fits in a standard ATX case, 2x64-bit PCI -- one 66MHz, one 33MHz -- plus 1x32-bit PCI). [ Hence what is _my_problem_ because (thanx to all the help on this and other lists with my problem, which really wasn't a Linux problem), that is my problem with my server (Linux is doing a fine job, but the hardware cannot handle the I/O load we have on my server because high-throughput PCI devices are contending with each other). ] Basically, I'm making the following assumptions and/or have the following questions (TOTAL IGNORANCE HERE): A. Assumption: Stock Linux, FreeBSD and even unpatched Windows NT will work with any x86 mainboard, but will only use the components that the BIOS reports -- e.g., on a 450NX with (2) PCI channels and (4) Slot-2 , the older, early 2.0 kernels would work on the board, but only use one PCI channel (or two?) and one (or two?) processors (but not four)? B. Assumption: It didn't take much modification to support the 450NX and its 4-way Xeon, dual-PCI bus systems once someone reverse engineered the actual, undisclosed Intel specifications (e.g., detections, register settings, etc...). C. Question: What is the status of [full] support for the ServerWorks/RCC chipsets? Thanx in advance, and sorry about the ignorance factor here. -- TheBS -- Bryan "TheBS" Smith -- Engineer, IT Professional and Hacker E-mail: mailto:thebs@theseus.com,b.j.smith@ieee.org Disclaimer: http://www.SmithConcepts.com/legal.html ************************************************************* TheBS ...

I don't see anything obviously wrong there. What other machines do you have on the net? If there's a UNIX box there, first try pinging from your box, then try arp -n 195.161.13.6 from the other box. If it shows the MAC address, you're able to send, but not to receive. Then we can think further.

A search of the mailing lists tells me that this question gets asked *way* more often than it gets answered. ;) I'm trying to use a "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet+Modem II". Just the Ethernet part; I don't need the modem at this stage. At boot time and whenever the card gets inserted, pccardd gives me the error: xe1: xe Probing xe1: Can't map in cis Apr 7 01:46:18 foo pccardd[46] driver allocation failed for Xircom(CreditCard Ethernet+Modem II): Device not configured Using a similar card as an example, I've created a pccard.conf entry whose essential bits are: card "Xircom" "CreditCard Ethernet+Modem II" config 0x1 "xe0" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete I've put an xe0 in my kernel, tried playing with different IRQs, to no avail. MS Windows reports io addresses of 02f8-02ff and 1000-101f, and irq 9, then goes on with memory addresses 02008000-02008fff and 02004000-02007fff. MS Windows reports the card as "CEM2", and I notice that `pccardc dumpcis` includes "Addit. info = [CEM2],[1.00]" in Tuple #3. I don't know ths significance of most of this. I'm not sure what some of these configuration elements are, and they're not documented in the man pages or handbook (or the FAQ or the mailing list archives). For example, what's does the "0x1" mean on the config line? What's the significance of the references to "xe1" when I don't already have an xe0 in the system? Has anyone used one of these before? Can anybody lend me a clue? Thanks. :) -- Paul Chvostek To larger sight the rim of shadow is the line of light.

That's strange most just work. I haven't used that card but I have been using the DLink quad ethernet card. It's cheap (~$150) and works fine with the de & dc drivers. We have a bunch here in use. A lot cheaper then the competition that list a $600+ per card. What version of FreeBSD are you using? I used -stable (3 branch), -current and 4.0-RELEASE. Doug A.

Has anybody seen this, ever? The scsi card's a AHA-2940UW. This is just on a specific computer. i can put the card and the HD in another computer and it works fine. Also, MS Win seems to have NO problems with it ( !!! ). Strange, no? I've tried using (as install media) the standard two floppies as well as writing the 2mb image to a random 512mb IDE HD. (learned that from the alpha ;) Ideas anybody? Or should i just move the scsi stuff to another comp? i wanted SCSI on this computer because the second IDE controller doesn't work. -Jesse eaglez69@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Have you considered changing your name? That might mean you could get another email address. Then the mail would stop. Particularly the mail from you.
