Hello Casey, The Realtek AC97 audio codec on the A7N8X Deluxe board is supported by the pcm(4) driver. You need to build a kernel with "device pcm" in the configuration and it will be detected at boot - with messages similar to this in dmesg: pci0: at device 5.0 (no driver attached) pcm0: port 0xc000-0xc07f,0xcc00-0xccff mem 0xe6080000-0xe6080fff irq 4 at device 6.0 on pci0 pcm0: That multimedia device without a driver is the Soundstorm DSP, which is not supported by any driver due to lack of documentation from nvidia. Alternatively, if the kernel shipped in 5.2.1 release has /boot/kernel/pcm.ko, you could try 'kldload pcm' to load it. I haven't tried using the pcm driver as a module so I have no idea on whether or not it will work.

I've got a VIA EPIA box which has the CastleRock CLE266 video chipset. Matt Dillion provided instructions on how to get the port XFree86-4-Server-snap to run, so I've been able to run its 4.3.99.12 build for a while. Last night I updated the port, which got XFree86 4.3.99.15. It works on my other non-VIA machines, but on the VIA CLE266 box it bombs upon startup, using the same XFree86Config file I had been using earlier. /var/log/XFree86.0.log repeats several times before death: Symbol drmOpen from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o is unresolvable Symbol drmClose from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o is unresolvable After some googling I added lines to my XFree86Config: Load "vbe" Load "int10" Load "drm" This made the "drmOpen/drmClose unresolvable" messages go away, but it died anyway, with no indication why. I suspected that DRI/DRM isn't working for me, since VIA isn't one of the common chipsets that seem to be supported, like here: /usr/src/sys/modules/drm: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 141 Sep 9 2003 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 110 Nov 6 2002 Makefile.inc drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 mga drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 r128 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 radeon drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 sis drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 06:04 tdfx I then recomiled the XFree86-4-Server-snap after hacking the Makefile to get it to *not* use: RUN_DEPENDS+= ${X11BASE}/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/dri BuildXF86DRI= YES PLIST_SUB+= DRI="" But again, it died on the VIA on startup, with no message indicating what failed in the log file. Am I correct in thinking that the problem is with FreeBSD's DRI/DRM support of the VIA CLE266 chips? If so, is there a way to tell XFree86Config to NOT use these features, to disable these options? If it's something else, any suggestions for a work-around? If 4.3.99.15 simply won't on my HW, can someone provide the incantation to cvsup the port from back when it used XFree86-4.3.99.12 ? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Try 'kldload snd_ich' (as root), and 'dmesg' to see if your card is=20 recognized. If that doesn't do the trick, try the other snd_ drivers (you c= an=20 find them in /boot/kernel/). To make it permanent, add 'snd_ich_load=3D"YES= "'=20 to /boot/loader.conf. > > Also, on a completely unrelated note, how do you get the mouse scroll > wheel to work?

Add Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 to the mouse section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config. This is a FAQ, and you=20 probably should've been able to find it through Google.

Yes, I added fixed isochronous support for the ohci usb so that a friend could run "vid" using an OV511-based D-Link DSB-C100 camera. He is hacking around with a webcam as part of his chicken coop and greenhouse controller. I believe he was running one of the 5.x release candidates. I think he has the details at his site where you can usually see his webcam in operation: http://chicks.surfingsc.com/ vid also needs at least one minor hack to comment out a check that just gets in the way, I think this is the needed patch to "vid.c": -/*HACK THE THING +#if 0 +/* HACK */ if(ov511_i2c_read(fd, 0x00) < 0) exit(1); -HACK END*/ +#endif /* set YUV 4:2:0 format, Y channel LPF */ if(ov511_reg_write(fd, OV511_REG_M400, 0x01) < 0) @@ -447,12 +461,16 @@ if(ov511_reg_write(fd, OV511_REG_CE_EN, 0x0) < 0) exit(1); -/* HACK THE THING - * This returns 0 if we have an OV7620 sensor * +#if 0 +/* HACK */ + /* This returns 0 if we have an OV7620 sensor */ if((is20 = ov511_i2c_read(fd, OV7610_REG_COMI)) < 0) exit(1); -HACK END*/ is20 = !is20; +#else + is20 = 0; +#endif + It appears very few webcams have readily available doc.

I have never seen this problem and I cvsup every few weeks on current. I have not done a clean install since last year. Is that a local ftp or the net? Can you make a cd from the iso, or do you not want to? I have done both in the past and the cd is much faster, even if you hae broad band. Maybe not if you have a t3 or better, but not all ftp servers will be fast all the time.

They released the EPIA TC which ditches the annoyance of atx.

So, if this has already been answered in the past, go easy on me. ;) I'm running FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT (last built on Jan 15th, 2004). I recently purchased a "Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop," which is a wireless setup with a PS/2 keyboard and a USB mouse (with a USB->PS/2 converter, if I need it). The system recognizes both the keyboard and mouse during boot (and the keyboard actually works right from the loader): ] ums0: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\M-. 1.00, rev ] 2.00/73.73, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ] ums0: 5 buttons ] atkbdc0: port 0x64,0x60 irq 1 on acpi0 ] atkbd0: flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0 ] kbd0 at atkbd0 The system also correctly detects when the USB mouse is unplugged and re-plugged back in: ] ums0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected ] ums0: detached moused starts just fine (automatically) during the system boot, and XF86, using /dev/sysmouse, starts without complaining about anything. "XFree86 -config" detects the mouse as sysmouse, as well. Unfortunately, the mouse doesn't respond at all. On the console & in X, I get the mouse pointer in the center of the screen, but it doesn't respond to the movement of the mouse. When I plug in a regular, non-wireless USB mouse (an IntelliMouse Explorer, to be precise), it's detected as /dev/ums1 and works just fine both on the console (with moused running) and in X. ] ums1: Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM), rev ] 1.10/3.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1 ] ums1: 5 buttons and Z dir. So, I'm assuming my kernel & USB configurations are correct. I've tried killing moused and starting X using the ums0 device directly, but that didn't work either. Plugging the mouse cord on the wireless receiver into the PS/2 mouse port doesn't seem to have any effect on the matter -- the system detects a mouse on the psm0 port, but it still doesn't respond to movement. Has anybody else seen a similar problem? Any suggestions as to what to do next? Nothing I've tried seems to be working and I could use all the help I can get... - Jamie From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Apr 15 13:39:28 2004 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 25BD916A4CE for ; Thu, 15 Apr 2004 13:39:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from agena.meridian-enviro.com (agena.meridian-enviro.com [207.109.235.133]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 92F5743D53 for ; Thu, 15 Apr 2004 13:39:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rand@meridian-enviro.com) Received: from delta.meridian-enviro.com (delta.meridian-enviro.com [10.10.10.43])i3FKdQe02143 for ; Thu, 15 Apr 2004 15:39:26 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from rand@meridian-enviro.com) Received: (from rand@localhost)i3FKdQ8V029466; Thu, 15 Apr 2004 15:39:26 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from rand@meridian-enviro.com) X-Authentication-Warning: delta.meridian-enviro.com: rand set sender to rand@meridian-enviro.com using -f To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org References: <87fzc6gf1b.wl@delta.meridian-enviro.com> From: rand@meridian-enviro.com (Douglas K.

But if things go wrong because of the NIC, I'll ask the owner of the machine to buy an Intel card. patpro -- je cherche un poste d'admin-sys Mac/UNIX (ou une jeune et jolie femme riche) http://patpro.net/cv.php
