Ok, my bios says the the com port is at 0x3f8. Then I booted off of a dos disk, and ran msd, this told me that I did have a com port, and it was at the address 0x3f8. I compiled a new kernel, adding a line for sio0, and rebooted. When FreeBSD booted it says sio0 not found at 0x3f8. I am very confused buy this, I then built a new kernel with the sio0 line but changed were the port went to port? , This said basically the same thing, sio0 not found. The computer is a toshiba satellite 315CDS. Anyone that can help me out please do, I really would like to have my com port available :) Thanks ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Sun Jul 19 11:54:59 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA08352 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Sun, 19 Jul 1998 11:54:59 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from hotmail.com (f221.hotmail.com [207.82.251.112]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id LAA08347 for ; Sun, 19 Jul 1998 11:54:58 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from repenting@hotmail.com) Received: (qmail 5582 invoked by uid 0); 19 Jul 1998 18:54:14 -0000 Message-ID: <19980719185414.5581.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 209.57.150.24 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Sun, 19 Jul 1998 11:54:13 PDT X-Originating-IP: [209.57.150.24] From: "Mike Del" To: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: I am having problems getting Freebsd to find my com port.

Date: Mon, 20 Jul 1998 17:00:05 +0900 From: Behcet Sarikaya Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, Does someone know how to configure wlp0 when it can only "see" a Wavepoint bridge? On Windows95 it works but I could not get it working on a FreeBSD laptop running 2.2.6. Part of the problem is setting NWID. I put wlconfig -i wlp0 -w 0xa100 ifconfig_wlp0="inet x.x.226.22 netmask 255.255.255.0" into rc.conf.local file and rc.conf has default_router "x.x.226.20" which is a FreeBSD desktop with ISA Wavelan card and "routed" running (x.x is our network number). When I boot close to the default router it works but when I boot close to the wavepoint (x.x.226.100) it does not. Our Ethernet default router is x.x.180.1. Any help would be appreciated. Please direct your mails to me.

But the answer you are looking for is to lower the speed of the link in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Chances are you have it set to: set speed 230400 This should be: set speed 115200 I don't have a 56K modem in my laptop, only in my desktop, and this is the fix.

Otherwise > the clock would go non-backwards 233/17 faster :-). Well, you're right about apm & the tsc counter. If I remove apm, I get the TSC counter back.... *but* my clock *zoooms* along - at what visually looks like around 10 times the speed. Setting the tsc timecounter to 233000000 via sysctl normalises the time again :-I Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the sig24 avoidance stuff that I did, so something's still going backwards :-( Additionally, the apm controller is misbehaving - so all this may be a result of that. It's one of those nasty pci-come-isa jobs (VLSI 82C146, 5 mem & 2 i/o windows), and no matter what I do, I can't get it to notice the pccard's irq. I've tried manually assigning irq 12 (rather than 3) to the controller by tweaking pccard.c but it makes no difference. The card is functional in my old laptop and has a hard-coded irq 10 in pccard.conf - and I know irq 12 is free for the controller (I'm not sure about irq 3 'cos there's a built-in modem that I haven't been able to find i/o address-wise yet) :-/ I know it's an irq problem because if I ``ping -c2'', I get everything back in one go at the end.

It probes as a 82C146, but I haven't opened up the machine (and I'm not going to now 'cos it's going back to the shop). Needless to say, there's nothing in the instructions or on the Compaq web site. > The PCCARD controller is polled as well as handled by an interrupt, but > that doesn't sound like your problem.

Try moving your card IRQ's around. I moved the card irq to 11 with the same results. Udp packets work slowly and a ping -c10 will come back 10 seconds later with ping times ranging from 10 seconds to 1 second. And now for the rest of it. I can't find the modem anywhere - the only evidence that there's one there is that there's an rj45 socket at the back and the packaging says there's one. The mouse (a touch-pad with ``extra'' area-sensitive capabilities) can't be probed either. No matter what I do to the psm device, it's just not there. zzz will immediately resume, although FN-F4 will sleep and the apm driver will notice and do the ``slept for xxx'' diagnostic bit. The suspend capability doesn't work at all. Now and then, when booting, sio0 won't be probed. A reboot solves that !!?! I guess I should be grateful that the CD & sound card work.

The MediaGX is a truly disgusting device, and returning it just as fast as you can is a very good idea. Just to give you an idea; I was playing with a MediaGX based system a few months back. Due to bugs in the SMI BIOS, it generated spurious interrupts and integer divide faults at apparently random times. FreeBSD was unusable on this system, because it takes these faults seriously. Linux ignores them (no surprises there), but running 'top' with a 1-second update consumed 30% of the CPU doing nothing but maintaining an 80x25 text screen. (The issue here is that every time you write to video memory the CPU takes a trap into SMI mode, the character is drawn into the display bitmap and then you return...) > > The PCCARD controller is polled as well as handled by an interrupt, but > > that doesn't sound like your problem. > > The controller seems fine, but I thought (this is probably wrong) > that the controller passed the card irqs onto the bus.... The controller has one IRQ output for itself, and then one for each card. The pccard code polls the controller, so that even if its interrupt is not being seen, we still get controller events. However, drivers often depend on IRQ activity from their hardware, so the card interrupts do have to be seen to work. > I guess I should be grateful that the CD & sound card work. I knew I > shouldn't have bought Compaq - they have a tendency to do produce > these sort of surprises. It hurts to say it, but basically you're really just better off getting rid of this unit. It's going to take someone seriously dedicated a lot of work to make the sort of hardware the GX seems to encourage work well for us, and I doubt that's what you want. Try something from Dell or Digital or perhaps Toshiba instead if you want a name-brand "it works" solution, or any of the many taiwanese units based on the 430TX chipset. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Wed Jul 22 09:36:06 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA04039 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Wed, 22 Jul 1998 09:36:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jane.lfn.org (www.rfno.com [209.16.92.3] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id JAA03986 for ; Wed, 22 Jul 1998 09:35:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from craig@lfn.org) Received: (qmail 23818 invoked by uid 100); 22 Jul 1998 16:34:33 -0000 Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 11:34:33 -0500 (CDT) From: Craig Johnston To: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: NEC laptops Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Can anyone report good things about the NEC 2780MT, 6060, 6220, 6230, or the "Versa LX" ?

I've recently installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 onto my new laptop, using the CD and the PAO boot floppy. Everything went well and I was able to configure and build a PAO kernel. (I did have a hard time finding a PC ethernet card that would work, but eventually did.) I was under the impression that I could track the -stable release using cvsup and still maintain PAO support. However, my first attempt failed, and I don't know why. I hope that this is the proper list to address - there doesn't seem to be any other avenue for PAO support. Here's what I did... cvsup stable-supfile make world These worked... config TOOTS make depend make This failed, complaining about undefined pcic_intr and pcicdriver. By commenting out the PCIC lines in the kernel config file, I was able to build a kernel successfully, but (of course) it doesn't recognize my PC ethernet card any more. It appears that cvsup'ing the stable sources may have overwritten the PAO patches/changes. After that initial failure, I've also cvsup'ed the PAO packages from jaz.jp.freebsd.org, using the directions on the PAO web page, but the stuff that I got (sys and kit) is in it's own hierarchy, and I don't know how to integrate it. To add insult to injury, jaz.jp.freebsd.org is now rejecting any attempt to cvsup, so I can't even do any more experiments! :-) If someone can point out the error of my ways, or even better, point me to the documentation for what I'm trying to do, I'd really appreciate it.

I guess that the two things that I really need from PAO are PC card support, in particular for the Accton ethernet card, and APM support. Neither of those things seem to be available in the GENERIC kernel, which I just built and tried. Of course, if there's some way to turn those on, then I'd be willing to forego PAO, I guess...

That's because the GENERIC kernel is designed for desktops. If you were to peruse the handbook and the LINT kernel, you would find the requisite information to enable APM and PCCARD support.

I created a 'PCCARD' config file a long time ago (November of last year), but the kernel is not built as part of the distribution. Is it that PCCARD is just a bad name?

I've taken the machine back to the shop - The MediaGX cpu (which I previously knew nothing about) scared me... the lengths people go to so that they can produce something a few $$$s cheaper... I've replaced it with a machine w/ an Intel chip (FOOF & all). Interestingly enough, the PCIC probes as a VLSI 82C146 on this machine too, and my 3c589c seems to be misbehaving in the same way (IRQs don't seem to work) - but I can see psm0, so it just seems to be an interrupt thing. Of course I'm still on 2.2.6-release (no timers mentioned at boot time, and no sig 24s).

Is it >that PCCARD is just a bad name? I think the usual problem is just that there's no PCCARD kernel, so for certain combinations of h/w people can't use the boot floppy to do an install over the network. (I think JDP had this problem, I'm sure a few others have.) So ... it might solve some woes to supply a PCCARD boot floppy. Of course I say this without fully thinking through how all the pccard_* stuff in /etc would be handled, haven't had to fiddle with that stuff for a while. I would be so bold as to have a look at this in a week or two, once I get moved back up to Bozeman. It CAN'T be that hard to do.

Although my Digital HiNote has a Cirrus Logic chipset, I'd suggest upgrading to 2.2.7; it got my 3c589b working. Before it would config the card but the card wouldn't send or receive packets. Poppped it in after the post-upgrade kernel build and viola, I could ping the network!

Yep - I intend to become -current, but that's a painful thing to do over a serial link :-/ I should really have just installed from a -current release.

The WaveLAN/ISA card now runs well (900 Kbps with 500 byte packets point-to-point) and reliably (starts up every time) on four different machines (486, P133, P200 and Cyrix Gx86). The 486 and Gx86 run OK with unmodified code. The first is a SLOW_CMD that inserts a 20 mS delay via DELAY() in wlhwrst() when issuing the clear reset and set PIO#1 in autoincrement mode command. Apparently the next call to wlmmcstat() or wlbldcu() interferes with completion of the hardware reset. The P133 worked OK with 10 mS but the P200 needed more. Issuing 2 regular (1 mS) CMDs also provided the same effect. DELAY(15000000) does check in at 15 mS. While this allows the initial routines to complete without error and marks wl0 up and running it does not actually transmit/receive packets until a wlconfig wl0 currnwid 0x#### command is issued. So the second hack was to perform the same MMC_WRITE(MMC_NETW_ID_?) commands just before leaving wlhwrst(). Other MMC_WRITE commands (I only tried MMC_FREEZE) don't do it. Don't know why but this starts the mmc running and everything works OK. Thought this information might be useful to you or anyone else having problems or in updating the driver code. A copy of the universal diffs and the dmesg from each machine is attached. Now, if I can just get the lnc Ethernet driver to work with the built in Am79C971 chip on the unit with the Gx86 processor I'll be happy. Next project (shudder :-( Any other ideas here?

I have a machine begging for something better than 320x200. :) I attempted to build this myself but my utter lack of experience with building X didn't help -- the neomagic make exploded missing some header files. I think I have the source and the link kit confused though. Please contribute this back to the author of the above page, just so everything's in one place.

As for sending you my binary, I would like to test it myself before I start giving it out to people. -------------------- Randy Philipp cphilipp@pop500.gsfc.nasa.gov To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Fri Jul 24 17:23:02 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA05223 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Fri, 24 Jul 1998 17:23:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from allegro.lemis.com (allegro.lemis.com [192.109.197.134]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA05194; Fri, 24 Jul 1998 17:22:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from grog@freebie.lemis.com) Received: from freebie.lemis.com (freebie.lemis.com [192.109.197.137]) by allegro.lemis.com (8.9.1/8.9.0) with ESMTP id JAA07059; Sat, 25 Jul 1998 09:52:06 +0930 (CST) Received: (from grog@localhost) by freebie.lemis.com (8.9.1/8.9.0) id JAA17199; Sat, 25 Jul 1998 09:52:06 +0930 (CST) Message-ID: <19980725095206.S716@freebie.lemis.com> Date: Sat, 25 Jul 1998 09:52:06 +0930 From: Greg Lehey To: Randy Philipp Cc: Doug White , freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Neomagic chipset and XFree86 References: <19980721074235.I12064@freebie.lemis.com> <199807241804.OAA05528@ws976.gsfc.nasa.gov> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.91.1i In-Reply-To: <199807241804.OAA05528@ws976.gsfc.nasa.gov>; from Randy Philipp on Fri, Jul 24, 1998 at 02:04:46PM -0400 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Friday, 24 July 1998 at 14:04:46 -0400, Randy Philipp wrote: > I got an Xserver compiled for FreeBSD using the Neomagic drivers from > http://www.mnsinc.com/js/Neomagic.html.

I've built this driver into XF86_SVGA (albeit with all the other drivers too - rather than just ``generic'') and I can get X up at 16 bits in 800x600, *but* I get a lot of horizontal lines across my screen - kind of like a huge thin horizontal smear (it's not there when an empty xterm takes up the entire screen, but when I add some text, I start getting the lines). I've tried changing the Frequency from 40.0 - to no avail. This has obviously got nothing to do with it. I know very little about X - perhaps someone can say ``Ahh, those horizontal lines are because....'' (and fill in the ....) ? FWIW, the text in the xterm is crystal clear at 16 bpp, but the characters are like blobs of mud at 8 bpp. > -------------------- > Randy Philipp > cphilipp@pop500.gsfc.nasa.gov -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
