If I agreed I wouldn't have submitted the bug/rfe. You are correct in that it doesn't -directly- have anything to do with the mailwrapper; but the impression given from the mailwrapper and mailer.conf scripts is that once you have installed and configured your non-sendmail MTA, all you need to do is to edit mailer.conf and restart your daemons to make the switchover. Most sysadmins will only discover the sendmail-specific periodic action when they get the error message in their nightly log message; and it takes a little digging to translate that message into the appropriate periodic knob. Particularly for sysadmins who abandoned sendmail years ago or who have never gained sendmail expertise in the first place. I think that it would make the sysadmin's life easier if the mail.conf and/or mailwrapper man pages included a mention, either of the specific knob, or of the simple existance of sendmail-specific periodic actions and a pointer to the periodic.conf man page. Putting it in the BUGS or NOTES section would be fine. I should also like to point out that the daily_status_include_submit_mailq entry in the periodic.conf man page fails to mention that it is sendmail- specific and should probably be turned off if using an alternate MTA. But that should probably be a new bug report. -Pat --==========3872057794========== Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9A6V8ncYNbLD8wuMRAu5/AKD4O4PJcjyTHsGhsr7cf21UvKjnNQCfZQxo xQ17arY5HCpF2wYThDcXBzg= =nLAt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==========3872057794==========-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Sun Jun 9 17:26:39 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.eskimo.com (mx1.eskimo.com [204.122.16.48]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A029337B401; Sun, 9 Jun 2002 17:26:36 -0700 (PDT) Received: from eskimo.com (ripper@eskimo.com [204.122.16.13]) by mx1.eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA14487; Sun, 9 Jun 2002 17:26:28 -0700 Received: (from ripper@localhost) by eskimo.com (8.9.1a/8.9.1) id RAA15263; Sun, 9 Jun 2002 17:26:27 -0700 (PDT) Date: Sun, 9 Jun 2002 17:26:27 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <200206100026.RAA15263@eskimo.com> From: Ross Lippert To: keramida@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG In-reply-to: <20020520001522.GB3205@hades.hell.gr> (message from Giorgos Keramidas on Mon, 20 May 2002 03:15:23 +0300) Subject: Re: Problem Report docs/31653 Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Re-worked multimedia chapter whcih is a merge of my video work and the already existing sound chapter.

Ross Lippert Editted by Multimedia Synopsis FreeBSD supports a wide variety of sound cards, allowing you to enjoy high fidelity output from your computer. This includes the ability to record and playback audio in the MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3), WAV, and Ogg Vorbis formats as well as many other formats. The FreeBSD Ports Collection also contains applications allowing you to edit your recorded audio, add sound effects, and control attached MIDI devices. With some willingness to experiment, FreeBSD can support playback of video files and DVD's. The number of applications to encode, re-encode, and playback various video media is more limited than the number of sound applications. For example as of this writing, there is no good transcoding application in the FreeBSD Ports Collection, which could be use to interconvert between formats, as there is with audio/sox. However, the software landscape in this area is changing rapidly. This chapter will describe the necessary steps to configure your sound card. The configuration and installation of XFree86 () has already taken care of the much of the hardware issues for your video card, though there may be some tweaks to apply for better playback. After reading this chapter, you will know: How to configure your system so that your sound card is recognized. Methods to test that your card is working using sample applications. How to troubleshoot your sound setup. How to playback and encode MP3s and other audio. How video is supported by XFree86. Some video player/encoder ports which give good results. How to playback DVD's, .mpg and .avi files. How to rip CD and DVD information into files. Before reading this chapter, you should: Know how to configure and install a new kernel (). For the video sections, it is assumed that XFree86 4.X (x11/XFree86-4) has been installed. XFree86 3.X may work, but this author has not made the attempt. Warning: trying to mount an audio CD or a video DVD with the mount will result in an error, at least, and a kernel panic, at worst. These media have specialized encodings which differ from the usual ISO-filesystem. Moses Moore Contributed by Setting Up The Sound Card Locating the Correct Device PCI ISA sound cards Before you begin, you should know the model of the card you have, the chip it uses, and whether it is a PCI or ISA card. FreeBSD supports a wide variety of both PCI and ISA cards. If you do not see your card in the following list, check the &man.pcm.4; manual page. This is not a complete list; however, it does list some of the most common cards. Crystal 4237, 4236, 4232, 4231 Yamaha OPL-SAx OPTi931 Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370/1371 ESS Solo-1/1E NeoMagic 256AV/ZX Sound Blaster Pro, 16, 32, AWE64, AWE128, Live Creative ViBRA16 Advanced Asound 100, 110, and Logic ALS120 ES 1868, 1869, 1879, 1888 Gravis UltraSound Aureal Vortex 1 or 2 kernel configuration To use your sound device, you will need to load the proper device driver. This may be accomplished in one of two ways. The easiest way is to simply load a kernel module for your sound card with &man.kldload.8;. Alternatively, you may statically compile in support for your sound card in your kernel. The sections below provide the information you need to add support for your hardware in this manner. For more information about recompiling your kernel, please see . Creative, Advance, and ESS Sound Cards If you have one of the above cards, you will need to add: device pcm to your kernel configuration file. If you have a PnP ISA card, you will also need to add: device sbc For a non-PnP ISA card, add: device pcm device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 to your kernel configuration file. The settings shown above are the defaults. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. See the &man.sbc.4; manual page for more information. The Sound Blaster Live is not supported under FreeBSD 4.0 without a patch, which this section will not cover. It is recommended that you update to the latest -STABLE before trying to use this card. Gravis UltraSound Cards For a PnP ISA card, you will need to add: device pcm device gusc to your kernel configuration file. If you have a non-PnP ISA card, you will need to add: device pcm device gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x13 to your kernel configuration file. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. See the &man.gusc.4; manual page for more information. Crystal Sound Cards For Crystal cards, you will need to add: device pcm device csa to your kernel configuration file. Generic Support For PnP ISA or PCI cards, you will need to add: device pcm to your kernel configuration file. If you have a non-PnP ISA sound card that does not have a bridge driver, you will need to add: device pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 to your kernel configuration file. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. Onboard Sound Some systems with built-in motherboard sound devices may require the following option in your kernel configuration: options PNPBIOS Creating and Testing the Device Nodes device nodes After you reboot, log in and run dmesg | grep pcm as shown below: &prompt.root; dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.11> on sbc0 The output from your system may look different. If no pcm devices show up, something went wrong earlier. If that happens, go through your kernel configuration file again and make sure you chose the correct device. Consult the troubleshooting section for additional options. If the previous command returned pcm0, you will have to run the following as root: &prompt.root; cd /dev &prompt.root; sh MAKEDEV snd0 If the command returned pcm1, follow the same steps as shown above, replacing snd0 with snd1. The above commands will not create a /dev/snd device! MAKEDEV will create a group of device nodes, including: Device Description /dev/audio SPARC-compatible audio device /dev/dsp Digitized voice device /dev/dspW Like /dev/dsp, but 16 bits per sample /dev/midi Raw midi access device /dev/mixer Control port mixer device /dev/music Level 2 sequencer interface /dev/sequencer Sequencer device /dev/pss Programmable device interface If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is properly coupled to your soundcard, you can put a CD in the drive and play it with &man.cdcontrol.1;. &prompt.user; cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c play 1 Various applications, such as audio/workman offer a better interface. You may want to install an application such as audio/mpg123 to listen to audio files. Common Problems Error Solution device node unsupported subdevice XX One or more of the device nodes was not created correctly. Repeat the steps above. I/O port sb_dspwr(XX) timed out The I/O port is not set correctly. IRQ bad irq XX The IRQ is set incorrectly. Make sure that the set IRQ and the sound IRQ are the same. xxx: gus pcm not attached, out of memory There is not enough available memory to use the device. DSP xxx: can't open /dev/dsp! Check with fstat | grep dsp if another application is holding the device open. Noteworthy troublemakers are esound and KDE's sound support. Chern Lee Contributed by MP3 Audio MP3 (MPEG Layer 3 Audio) accomplishes near CD-quality sound, leaving no reason to let your FreeBSD workstation fall short of its offerings. MP3 Players By far, the most popular XFree86 MP3 player is XMMS (X Multimedia System). Winamp skins can be used with XMMS since the GUI is almost identical to that of Nullsoft's Winamp. XMMS also has native plug-in support. XMMS can be installed from the audio/xmms port or package. XMMS' interface is intuitive, with a playlist, graphic equalizer, and more. Those familiar with Winamp will find XMMS simple to use. The audio/mpg123 port is an alternative, command-line MP3 player. mpg123 can be run by specifying the sound device and the MP3 file on the command line, as shown below: &prompt.root; mpg123 -a /dev/dsp1.0 Foobar-GreatestHits.mp3 High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2 and 3. Version 0.59r (1999/Jun/15). Written and copyrights by Michael Hipp. Uses code from various people. See 'README' for more! THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Playing MPEG stream from BT - Foobar-GreastHits.mp3 ... MPEG 1.0 layer III, 128 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo /dev/dsp1.0 should be replaced with the dsp device entry on your system. Ripping CD Audio Tracks Before encoding a CD or CD track to MP3, the audio data on the CD must be ripped onto the hard drive. This is done by copying the raw CDDA (CD Digital Audio) data to WAV files. The cdda2wav tool, which is a part of the sysutils/cdrtools suite, is used for ripping audio information of CDs and the information associated with it. With the audio CD in the drive, the following command can be issued (as root) to rip an entire CD into individual (per track) WAV files: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -B The indicates the SCSI device 0,1,0, which corresponds to the output of cdrecord -scanbus. To rip individual tracks, make use of the option as shown: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -t 7 This example rips track seven of the audio CDROM. To rip a range of tracks, for example, track one to seven, specify a range: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -t 1+7 cdda2wav will also support ATAPI (IDE) CDROM drives. To rip from an IDE drive, specify the device name in place of the SCSI unit numbers. For example, to rip track 7 from an IDE drive: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D /dev/acd0a -t 7 Encoding MP3s Nowadays, the mp3 encoder of choice is lame. Lame can be found at audio/lame in the ports tree. Using the ripped WAV files, the following command will convert audio01.wav to audio01.mp3: &prompt.root; lame -h -b 128 \ --tt "Foo Song Title" \ --ta "FooBar Artist" \ --tl "FooBar Album" \ --ty "2001" \ --tc "Ripped and encoded by Foo" \ --tg "Genre" \ audio01.wav audio01.mp3 128 kbits seems to be the standard MP3 bitrate in use. Many enjoy the higher quality 160, or 192. The higher the bitrate, the more disk space the resulting MP3 will consume--but the quality will be higher. The option turns on the higher quality but a little slower mode. The options beginning with indicate ID3 tags, which usually contain song information, to be embedded within the MP3 file. Additional encoding options can be found by consulting the lame man page. Decoding MP3s In order to burn an audio CD from MP3s, they must be converted to a non-compressed WAV format. Both XMMS and mpg123 support the output of MP3 to an uncompressed file format. Writing to Disk in XMMS: Launch XMMS. Right-click on the window to bring up the XMMS menu. Select Preference under Options. Change the Output Plugin to Disk Writer Plugin. Press Configure. Enter (or choose browse) a directory to write the uncompressed files to. Load the MP3 file into XMMS as usual, with volume at 100% and EQ settings turned off. Press Play — XMMS will appear as if it is playing the MP3, but no music will be heard. It is actually playing the MP3 to a file. Be sure to set the default Output Plugin back to what it was before in order to listen to MP3s again. Writing to stdout in mpg123: Run mpg123 -s audio01.mp3 > audio01.pcm XMMS writes a file in the WAV format, while mpg123 converts the MP3 into raw PCM audio data. Both of these formats can be used with cdrecord or burncd to create audio CDROMs. Read for more information on using a CD burner in FreeBSD. Ross Lippert Contributed by Video Playback Video Payback is a very new and rapidly developing application area. Be patient. Not everything is going to work as smoothly as it did with sound. Before you begin, you should know the model of the video card you have and the chip it uses. While XFree86 supports a wide variety of video cards, a much smaller number give good playback performance. To obtain a list of extensions supported by the X-server using your card use the command &man.xdpyinfo.1; while X11 is running. It is a good idea to have a short MPEG file which can be treated as a test file for evaluating various players and options. Some DVD players default or are hardcoded to look for DVD media in /dev/dvd, this it is a good idea to use a symbolic links: &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/racd0c /dev/rdvd On FreeBSD-5.X, which uses devfs there is a slightly different set of recommended links: &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/rdvd Additionally, DVD-decoding will require write permission on the DVD devices. Some of the ports discussed rely on the following kernel options to build correctly. Before attempting to build, add these options to the kernel and reboot: option CPU_ENABLE_SSE option USER_LDT To enhance the shared memory X11 interface, it is recommended that the values of some &man.sysctl.8; variables should be increase: kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 kern.ipc.shmall=32768 Determining Video capabilities Xvideo Xv sdl SDL dga DGA kernel configuration options CPU_ENABLE_SSE kernel configuration options USER_LDT Video display under X11 suffers from a multitude of possibilities, what will each works is largely hardware dependent. Each method described below will have varying quality across different hardware. Secondly, the rendering of video in X11 is a topic receiving a lot of attention lately, and with each version of XFree86 there may be significant improvement. A list of common video interfaces: X11 : normal X11 output using shared memory XVideo : an extension to the X11 interface which supports video in any X11 drawable. SDL : the Simple Directmedia Layer DGA : the Direct Graphics Access SVGAlib : low level console graphics layer XVideo XFree86 4.X has an extension called XVideo (aka Xvideo, aka Xv, aka xv) which allows video to be directly displayed in drawable objects through a special acceleration. This extension provides very good quality playback on even low-end machines (for example my PIII 400Mhz laptop). Unfortunately, the list of cards in which this feature is supported out of the box is currently: 3DFX Voodoo 3 Intel i810 and i815 some S3 chips (such as Savage/IX and Savage/MX) If your card is not one of these, do not be disappointed yet. XFree86 4.X adds new xv capabilities with each release A popular familiar graphics card with generally very good XFree86 performance, nVidia, has yet to release the specifications on their XVideo support to the XFree86 team. It may be some time before XFree86 fully support XVideo for these cards. . To check whether the extension is running, use xvinfo: &prompt.user; xvinfo XVideo is supported for your card if the result looks like: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: "Savage Streams Engine" number of ports: 1 port base: 43 operations supported: PutImage supported visuals: depth 16, visualID 0x22 depth 16, visualID 0x23 number of attributes: 5 "XV_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 16777215) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 2110) "XV_BRIGHTNESS" (range -128 to 127) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_CONTRAST" (range 0 to 255) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 128) "XV_SATURATION" (range 0 to 255) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 128) "XV_HUE" (range -180 to 180) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) maximum XvImage size: 1024 x 1024 Number of image formats: 7 id: 0x32595559 (YUY2) guid: 59555932-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x32315659 (YV12) guid: 59563132-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x30323449 (I420) guid: 49343230-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x36315652 (RV16) guid: 52563135-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: RGB (packed) depth: 0 red, green, blue masks: 0x1f, 0x3e0, 0x7c00 id: 0x35315652 (RV15) guid: 52563136-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: RGB (packed) depth: 0 red, green, blue masks: 0x1f, 0x7e0, 0xf800 id: 0x31313259 (Y211) guid: 59323131-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 6 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x0 guid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 0 number of planes: 0 type: RGB (packed) depth: 1 red, green, blue masks: 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 Also note that the formats listed (YUV2, YUV12, etc) are not present with every implementation of Xvideo and their absense may hinder some players. If the result looks like: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present Then XVideo is probably not supported for your card. If XVideo is not supported for your card, this only means that it will be more difficult for your display to meet the computational demands of rendering video. Depending on your video card and processor, though, you might still be able to have a satisfying experience. You probably should read about ways to improving performance in the advanced reading . Simple Directmedia Layer The Simple Directmedia Layer, SDL, was intended to be a porting layers between Microsoft Windows, BeOS, and Unix, allowing cross-platform applications to be developed which made efficient use of sound and graphics. The SDL layer provides a low-level abstraction to the hardware which can sometimes be more efficient than the X11 interface. The SDL can be found at sdl12 Direct Graphics Access Direct Graphics Access is an XFree86 extension which allows a program to bypass the X-server and directly alter the framebuffer. Because it relies on a low level memory mapping to effect this sharing, programs using it must must be run as root The DGA extension can be tested and benchmarked by &man.dga.1;. When dga is running, it changes the colors of the display whenever a key is pressed. To quit, use q. Ports and Packages Dealing with Video video ports video packages This section will discuss the software available from the FreeBSD Ports Collection which can be used for video playback. Video playback is a very active area of software development, and the capabilities of various applications are bound to diverge somewhat from the descriptions given here. Firstly, it is important to know that most of the video applications which run of FreeBSD were developed as Linux applications, originating in the past year. For this reason, they are both, very experimental and also riddled with Linux-isms which might prevent them from working at full efficiency on FreeBSD. By experimental, I mean that you can expect re-encoders, players, and DVD decrypters to all have some major bugs, or interoperability problems with other programs. Here is a short list of the sorts of things I mean: An application cannot playback a file which another application produced. An application cannot playback a file which the application itself produced. The same application on two different machines, rebuilt on each machine for that machine, plays back the same file differently A seemingly trivial filter like rescaling of the image size results in very bad artifacts from a buggy rescaling routine. Application always dumping core. Documentation is not installed with the port and can be found either on the web or under PORTPATH/work/ . By Linux-isms, I mean that there are some issues resulting from the way some standard libraries are implemented in the Linux distributions, or some features of the Linux kernel which have been assumed by the authors of the applications, because that is where the authors are primarily developing. These issues may not be noticed and worked around by the port maintainers which can lead to some problems like these: The use of /proc/cpuinfo to detect processor characteristics. A misuse of threads which causes a program to hang upon completion than truly terminate. Software not yet in the FreeBSD Ports Collection which is commonly used in conjunction with the application. So far, these application developers have been cooperative with port maintainers to minimize the work-arounds needed for port-ing. MPlayer MPlayer is a recently developed and rapidly developing video player. The goals of the MPlayer team are speed and flexibility on Linux and other Unices. The project was started when the team founder got fed up with bad playback performance on then available players. Some would say that interface has been sacrificed for streamlined design, but once you get used to the command line options and the key-stroke controls, it works very well. Building MPlayer mplayer making MPlayer resides in graphics/mplayer. MPlayer performs a variety of hardware checks during the build process, resulting in a binary which will not be portable from one system to another. Thus it is important to build it from ports and not to use a binary package. Additionally, a number of options can be specified in the make which echo at the start of the build. &prompt.root; cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer &prompt.root; make You can enable additional compilation optimizations by defining WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS You can enable GTK GUI by defining WITH_GUI. You can enable DVD support by defining WITH_DVD. You can enable SVGALIB support by defining WITH_SVGALIB. You can enable VORBIS sound support by defining WITH_VORBIS. You can enable XAnim DLL support by defining WITH_XANIM. If you have x11-toolkits/gtk12 installed, then you might as well enable to GUI. Otherwise, it is not worth the effort. If you intend to play (possibly CSS encoded) DVD's with MPlayer you must enable to DVD support option here Unauthorized DVD playback is a serious criminal act in some countries. Check local laws before enabling this option. . Some reasonable options are: &prompt.root; make WITH_DVD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes As of this writing, the MPlayer port will build its HTML documentation and one executable, mplayer. It can also be made to build an encoder, mencoder, which is a tool for re-encoding video. A modification to the Makefile can enable it. It may be enabled by default in subsequent versions of the port. The HTML documentation to MPlayer is very informative. If the reader finds the information on video hardware and interfaces in thie chapter lacking, the MPlayer documentation is a very thorough alternative. I urge its reading by anyone wishing to obtain expertise in Unix video. Using mplayer mplayer use Any user of mplayer must set up a .mplayer subdirectory directory of her home directory. to create this necessary subdirectory, you can do the following: &prompt.user; cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer &prompt.user; make install-user The command options for mplayer are listed in the manual page. For even more detail there is HTML documentation. In this section, we will give some of the common use cases. To play from file, such as testfile.avi through one of the various video interfaces set the : &prompt.user; mplayer -vo xv testfile.avi &prompt.user; mplayer -vo sdl testfile.avi &prompt.user; mplayer -vo x11 testfile.avi &prompt.root; mplayer -vo dga testfile.avi &prompt.root; mplayer -vo 'sdl:dga' testfile.avi It is worth trying all of these options, as their relative performance depends on many factors and will vary significantly with hardware. To play from a DVD, replace the testfile.avi with where <N> is the title number to play and DEVICE is the device file for the DVD-ROM. For example, to play title 3 from /dev/dvd: &prompt.root; mplayer -vo dga -dvd 2 /dev/dvd To stop, pause, advance and so on, consult the keybindings, which are output by running mplayer -h or read the manual page. Additional important options for playback are: which engages the fullscreen mode and which helps performance. In order for the mplayer command line to not become too large, the user can create a file .mplayer/config and set default options there: vo=xv fs=yes zoom=yes Remember, if you are going to run as root then set this in the root home directory as well. Finally, mplayer can be used to rip a DVD title into a .vob file. To dump out title 2 from a DVD: &prompt.root; mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile out.vob -dvd 2 /dev/dvd The output file, out.vob, will be MPEG and can be manipulated by the other packages discussed in this section. mencoder mencoder If you opt to install mencoder when you build, be forewarned that it is still quite experimental. To use mencoder it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the options from the HTML documentation. There is a manual page, but it is not very useful without the HTML. There are innummerable ways to improve quality, lower bitrate, and change formats, and some of these tricks may make the difference between good playback performance and bad. Here are a couple of examples to get you going. First a simple copy: &prompt.user; mencoder input.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.avi It is easy to find examples where the output is unplayable even by mplayer. Thus, if you just want to rip to a file, stick to the in mplayer. To re-encode input.avi in the MPEG4 codec with MPEG3 audio encoding ( audio/lame is required): &prompt.user; mencoder input.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=192 \ -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq -o output.avi This has produced output playable by mplayer and Xine. input.avi can be replaced with and run as root to re-encode a DVD title directly. Since you are likely to be dissatisfied with your results the first time around, it is recommended you dump the title to a file and work on the file. Xine Xine is a project of wide scope aiming not only at being an all in one video solution, but also in producing a reusable base library and a modular executable which can be extended with plugins. It comes both as a package and as a port, graphics/xine. The good news is that the above is pretty much true. Xine is still very rough around the edges, but it is clearly off to a good start. In practice, Xine requires either a fast CPU with a fast video card, or support for the XVideo extension. The GUI is usable, but a bit clumsy. As of this writing, there is no input module shipped with Xine which will play CSS encoded DVD's. There are third party builds which do have modules for this built in them, but none of these are in the FreeBSD Ports Collection. Compared to MPlayer, Xine does more for the user, but at the same time, takes some of the more fine-grained control away from the user. Xine also may perform much worse on the non-XVideo interfaces and has very few good alternatives to it. The Xine FAQ highly recommends that you have a video card which supports it. Xine can be started by itself: &prompt.user; xine The menus can then be used to open a file, or it can be started to play a file immediately without the gui with the command: &prompt.user; xine -g -p mymovie.avi Transcode Transcode is not a player, but a suite of tools for re-encoding .avi and .mpg files. With Transcode, one has the ability to merge video files, repair broken files, using command line tools with stdin/stdout stream interfaces. Like MPlayer, Transcode is very experimental software which must be build from the port graphics/transcode. Using a great many options to the make. I recommend: &prompt.root; make WITH_LIBMPEG2=yes If you plan to install graphics/avifile, then add that option: &prompt.root; make WITH_AVIFILE=yes WITH_LIBMPEG2=yes Here are two examples of transcode for video conversion which produce rescaled output. The first encodes the output to an openDIVX AVI file, while the second encodes to the much more portable MPEG format. &prompt.user; transcode -i input.vob -x vob -V -Z 320x240 \ -y opendivx -N 0x55 -o output.avi &prompt.user; transcode -i input.vob -x vob -V -Z 320x240 \ -y mpeg -N 0x55 -o output.tmp tcmplex -o output.mpg -i output.tmp.m1v -p output.tmp.mpa -m 1 There is a manual page for transcode, but for the various tc* utilities which are also installed, there is only a curt output. In comparison, transcode runs significantly slower than mencoder, but it has a better chance of producing a more widely playable file. I can play transcode MPEGs on older copies of Windows Media Player and Apple's Quicktime, for example. Further Reading I have no doubt that within a year, much that is in this chapter will be out of date. Video will probably be much less problematic to get working well and a port will be in the collection which turns a FreeBSD system into a DVD-playing, PVR, and virtual A/V studio. Until that day arrives, those who want to get the very most out of FreeBSD's A/V capabilities will have to cobble together knowledge from several FAQs and tutorials and use a few different applications. This section exists to give the reader some links to learn more in case this chapter was just helpful enough. The MPlayer documentation is very technically informative. These documents should probably be consulted by anyone wishing to obtain a high level of expertise with Unix video. The MPlayer mailing list is hostile to anyone who has not bothered to read the documentation, so if you plan on making bug reports to them, RTFM. The Xine HOWTO contains a chapter on performance improvement which is general to all players. Finally, there are some other promising applications which may become useful additions to the FreeBSD Ports Collection: AVIFile which is also a port graphics/avifile. which is also a port graphics/ogle.

Mention INSTALL files. Point out that ports & packages are related earlier in the text. Replace "name space" reference, not meaningful to new users. Replace "CDROM" with "CD-ROM". Move pkg_delete after pkg_info, since pkg_info is required to find the full pkg name for pkg_delete (wildcards are not mentioned yet at this point). Fill out checksum explanation. Separately, suggested removing & redownloading Mention that distfile can be grabbed manually. Clarified that make continues after satisfying dependencies. Question: says Kermit's distfile would be on the CD, but "4.5.2.1 Installing Ports from a CD-ROM" seems to say that distfiles wouldn't be on the CD-ROM anyway. Should this be removed or reworded? "The FreeBSD Project's official CD-ROM images no longer include distfiles. They take up a lot of room that is better used for precompiled packages. CD-ROM products such as the FreeBSD PowerPak do include distfiles, and you can order these sets from a vendor such as the FreeBSD Mall.

MY NAMES ARE GEORGE ADE ONI, A NATIVE OF SOUTH AFRICA AND A SENIOR EMPLOYEE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN DEPARTMENT OF MINING AND NATURAL RESOURCES. I AM CURRENTLY HERE IN AMSTERDAM ON A TRADE MISSION. I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO SOLICIT FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION IN ORDER TO REDEEM AN INVESTMENT INTEREST CURRENTLY BEING HELD UNDER TRUST WITH THE SOUTH AFRICAN DEPARTMENT OF MINING AND NATURAL RESOURCES. THE SAID INVESTMENT NOW VALUED AT US$9,750.000.00(NINE MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED BY ONE MR. LUCIO STEVENSON AND LEASED TO THE TRANSVAAL ORANGE MINING CORPORATION IN 1975. SINCE THE MATURITY OF THIS CONTRACT IN SEPTEMBER 1997, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITHOUT SUCCESS TO CONTACT MR. LUCIO STEVENSON OR ANY OF HIS CLOSE RELATIVES IN WHOSE FAVOUR THE INVESTMENT CASH VALUE CAN BE PAID. MY PARTNER WHO IS THE ACCOUNTS DIRECTOR AT THE DEPARTMENT OF MINING AND TWO OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE INITIATED THE PROCESS OF FILLING A CLAIM FOR THIS MONEY, WITH THE HOPE OF HAVING THE FUNDS TRANSFERRED ABROAD. WE REQUEST THAT YOU LET MY PARTNERS FILE A CLAIM FOR THIS MONEY FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN DEPARTMENT OF MINING AND NATURAL RESOURCES INDICATING THAT YOU WERE APPOINTED BY MR.LUCIO STEVENSON TO BE THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS FUNDS. WHEN THE CLAIMS IS APPROVED, YOU AS THE BENEFICIARY WILL BE PAID THE SUM OF US$9,750,000.00. SINCE THE MONEY WILL BE PAID TO ANY BANK OF YOUR CHOICE, YOU HAVE A LIABILITY TO ENSURE THAT MY PARTNERS AND I RECEIVE 70% OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT SUM WHILE 25% WILL BE FOR YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE AND CO-OPERATION. THE REMAINING 5% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO COVER ANY INCIDENTAL EXPENSES WHICH MAY BE INCURED BY BOTH PARTIES DURING THIS TRANSACTION. PLEASE YOU ARE ADVISED TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION AS CONFIDENTIAL AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE ARE STILL TOP GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN SOUTH AFRICA. I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT MY PARTNERS HAVE SET ALL THE MODALITIES TO SEE THAT THIS PAYMENT IS SAFELLY MADE INTO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT PROVIDED YOU CAN GIVE US VERY STRONG GUARANTEE THAT OUR SHARE WILL BE WELL SECURED AND THAT YOU WILL NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR POSITION SINCE THE MONEY WILL BE TRANSFERRED DIRECTLY TO A BANK ACCOUNT THAT YOU NOMINATE. BE ALSO ASSURED THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IN VIEW OF THIS CLAIM. IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE AND RISK FREE. IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY ENQUIRY AS MY PARTNERS WILL BE HANDLING THE CLAIM DIRECTLY IN SOUTH AFRICA ON YOUR BEHALF. I DO HOPE MY PROPOSAL IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER SO THAT I CAN BRING YOU INTO A MORE DETAILED PICTURE OF THIS TRANSACTION. WHERE YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED, PLEASE DO HELP US LOOK FOR ANOTHER PARTNER AND DO NOT DISCUSS THIS PROPOSAL WITH ANY BODY. YOUR TRULLY, GEORGE ADE ONI. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Mon Jun 10 10:43:38 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (pc-62-31-42-140-hy.blueyonder.co.uk [62.31.42.140]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6FECF37B407 for ; Mon, 10 Jun 2002 10:43:33 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from nik@localhost) by nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (8.11.3/8.11.3) id g5A7efl87549; Mon, 10 Jun 2002 08:40:41 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from nik) Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2002 08:40:41 +0100 From: Nik Clayton To: tyler spivey Cc: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: what tree to base patches on?

Depends. If the problem is present in both -current and -stable then ideally base the patch on -current. But if the problem is only present in -stable then base it on the files in the -stable tree. Note that this only applies to the man pages. The other docs (FAQ, Handbook, etc) are not branched.

These represent problem reports covering all versions including experimental development code and obsolete releases. Bugs can be in one of several states: o - open A problem report has been submitted, no sanity checking performed. a - analyzed The problem is understood and a solution is being sought. f - feedback Further work requires additional information from the originator or the community - possibly confirmation of the effectiveness of a proposed solution. p - patched A patch has been committed, but some issues (MFC and / or confirmation from originator) are still open. s - suspended The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it will be closed, rather than suspended. c - closed A problem report is closed when any changes have been integrated, documented, and tested -- or when fixing the problem is abandoned.

Agreed, using set/setenv to list variables is confusing, but it's a useful feature that we should mention. > Bourne shells > - To view or set an environment variable differs somewhat from > + To set an environment variable differs somewhat from > shell to shell.

How about adding the following sentence to the end of this paragraph: To view all current environment environment variables use setenv without any arguments under C-Style shells or set under Bourne shells. -- Marxpitn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Tue Jun 11 5:39:53 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mail.tiscalinet.it (mail-6.tiscalinet.it [195.130.225.152]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7C1E737B406 for ; Tue, 11 Jun 2002 05:39:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [217.133.236.146] by mail.tiscalinet.it with HTTP; Tue, 11 Jun 2002 14:39:47 +0200 Message-ID: <3CAC57620007A5A5@mail.tiscalinet.it> Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 14:39:47 +0200 From: lo.renzo@tiscali.it Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?postscript=20files?= To: doc@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org hello!

I am not sure if I have misread and hence perverted the meaning of some of the section. I know english, not booting. Overview An x86 computer running FreeBSD can boot by several methods, although the most common method, booting from a harddisk where the OS is installed will be discussed here. The boot process can be divided into several distinct steps: BIOS POST boot0 stage boot2 stage loader stage kernel initialization The boot0 and boot2 stages are also refered to as bootstrap stages 1 and 2 in &man.boot.8; as the first steps in FreeBSD's 3-stage bootstrapping procedure. BIOS POST When the (x86) computer powers on, the processor's registers are set with some predefined values. One of the registers is the instruction pointer register, and its value after a power on is well defined: it is a 32-bit value of 0xffffff00. The instruction pointer register points to code to be executed by the processor. The value of 0xffffff00 is slightly less then 4Gb, so unless the machine has 4Gb RAM, it cannot point to a valid memory address. The computer's hardware magicly translates this address so that it points to a BIOS memory block. BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System, and it is the chip on the motherboard with a relatively small amount of read-only memory (ROM). This memory contains various low-level routines that are specific to the hardware supplied with the motherboard. So, the processor will first jump to the address 0xffffff00, which really resides in BIOS's memory. Usually this address contains another jump instruction to the BIOS's POST routines. POST stands for Power On Self Test. This is a set of routines which includes a memory check, system bus check and other low-level stuff so that the CPU can initialize the computer properly. One of the important steps in this stage is determining the boot device. All modern BIOS's allow the boot device to be set manually, so you can boot from a floppy, CD-ROM, harddisk etc. The very last thing in the POST is the INT 0x19 instruction. That instruction reads 512 bytes from the first sector of boot device to the memory at address 0x7c00. The term first sector originates from harddrive architecture, where the magnetic plate is divided to a number of cylindrical tracks. Tracks are numbered, and every track is divided by a number (usually 64) of sectors. Track number 0 is the outermost on the magnetic plate, and the first sector, sector 1 (tracks, or, cylinders, are numbered starting from 0, but sectors - starting from 1), has a special meaning. It is also called Master Boot Record, or MBR. The remaining sectors on the first track are never used. boot0 stage Take a look at the file /boot/boot0. This is a small 512-byte file, and it is exactly what FreeBSD's installation procedure wrote to your harddisk's MBR if you chose the 'bootmanager' option. As I said before, the INT 0x19 instruction loads an MBR block, i.e. the boot0 block, into the memory at address 0x7c00. Taking a look at the file sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.s can give a guess what is happening there - this is the boot manager, which is an awesome piece of code written by Robert Nordier. The MBR, or, boot0, has a special structure, starting from offset 0x1be, called the partition table. It is 4 records of 16 bytes each, called partition records, which represent how the harddisk is partitioned, or, in FreeBSD's terminology, sliced. One byte of those 16 says whether a partition (slice) is bootable or not. Exactly one record must have that flag set, otherwise boot0's code will refuse to proceed. A partition record has the following fields: the 1 byte filesystem type the 1 byte bootable flag the 6 byte descriptor in CHS format the 8 byte descriptor in LBA format Partition record descriptors have the information about where exactly the partition resides on a drive. Both descriptors, LBA and CHS, describe the same information, but in different ways: LBA (Logical Block Addressing) has the starting sector for the partition, and the partition's length, where CHS (Cylinder Head Sector) has coordinates for the first and last sector of the partition. The boot manager scans the partition table and prints a menu on the screen so the user can select what disk and what slice to boot. By pressing an appropriate key, boot0 performs the following actions: modifies the bootable flag for the selected partition to make it bootable, and clears the previous saves itself to disk to remember what partition (slice) has been selected so to use it as the default on the next boot loads the first sector of the selected partition (slice) into memory and jumps there What kind of data should reside on the very first sector of a bootable partition (slice), in our case, a FreeBSD slice? As you may have already guessed, it is boot2. boot2 stage You might wonder, why boot2 comes after boot0, and not boot1. Actually, there is a 512-byte file called boot1 in the directory /boot as well. It is used for booting from a floppy. When booting from a floppy, boot1 plays the same role as boot0 for a harddisk: it locates boot2 and runs it. You may have realized that a file /boot/mbr exists as well. It is a simplified version of boot0. The code in mbr does not provide a menu for the user, it just blindly boots the partition marked active. The code implementing boot2 resides in sys/boot/i386/boot2/, and the executable itself is in /boot. The files boot0 and boot2 that are in /boot are not used by the bootstrap, but by utilities such as boot0cfg. The actual position for boot0 is in the MBR. For boot2 it is the beginning of a bootable FreeBSD slice. These locations are not under the filesystem's control, so they are invisible to commands like ls. The main task for boot2 is to load the file /boot/loader, which is the third stage in the bootstrapping procedure. The code in boot2 cannot use any services like open() and read(), since the kernel is not yet loaded. It must scan the harddisk, knowing about the filesystem structure, find the file /boot/loader, read it into memory using a BIOS service, and then pass the execution to the loader's entry point. Besides that, boot2 prompts for user input so the loader can be booted from different disk, unit, slice and partition. I'm a little confused here. Is boot2 the program which does the twirly cursor and then gives me the boot prompt?? -Ross The boot2 binary is created in special way: sys/boot/i386/boot2/Makefile boot2: boot2.ldr boot2.bin ${BTX}/btx/btx btxld -v -E ${ORG2} -f bin -b ${BTX}/btx/btx -l boot2.ldr \ -o boot2.ld -P 1 boot2.bin This Makefile snippet shows that &man.btxld.8; is used to link the binary. BTX, which stands for BooT eXtender, is a piece of code that provides a protected mode environment for the program, called the client, that it links with. So boot2 is a BTX client, i.e. it uses the sevices provided by BTX. boot0 passes the execution to BTX's entry point. BTX then switches processor to protected mode, and prepares a simple environment before calling the client. This includes: virtual v86 mode. That means, the BTX is a v86 monitor. Real mode instructions like pushf, popf, cli, sti, if called by the client, will work. Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT) is set up so all hardware interrupts are routed to the default BIOS's handlers, and interrupt 0x30 is set up to be the syscall gate. Two system calls, exec() and exit(), are defined: sys/boot/i386/btx/lib/btxsys.s: .set INT_SYS,0x30 # Interrupt number # # System call: exit # __exit: xorl %eax,%eax # BTX system int $INT_SYS # call 0x0 # # System call: exec # __exec: movl $0x1,%eax # BTX system int $INT_SYS # call 0x1 BTX creates a Global Descriptor Table (GDT): sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.s gdt: .word 0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0 # Null entry .word 0xffff,0x0,0x9a00,0xcf # SEL_SCODE .word 0xffff,0x0,0x9200,0xcf # SEL_SDATA .word 0xffff,0x0,0x9a00,0x0 # SEL_RCODE .word 0xffff,0x0,0x9200,0x0 # SEL_RDATA .word 0xffff,MEM_USR,0xfa00,0xcf# SEL_UCODE .word 0xffff,MEM_USR,0xf200,0xcf# SEL_UDATA .word _TSSLM,MEM_TSS,0x8900,0x0 # SEL_TSS The client's code and data start from address MEM_USR (0xa000), and a selector, SEL_UCODE, points to client's code segment. The SEL_UCODE descriptor has a Descriptor Privilege Level (DPL) 3, which is the lowest privilege level. But the INT 0x30 instruction handler resides in a segment pointed to by the SEL_SCODE (supervisor code) selector, as shown from the code that creates an IDT: mov $SEL_SCODE,%dh # Segment selector init.2: shr %bx # Handle this int? jnc init.3 # No mov %ax,(%di) # Set handler offset mov %dh,0x2(%di) # and selector mov %dl,0x5(%di) # Set P:DPL:type add $0x4,%ax # Next handler So, when the client calls __exec(), the code will be executed with the highest privileges. This allows kernel to change the protected mode data structures, such as page tables, GDT, IDT, etc later, if needed. boot2 defines an important structure, struct bootinfo. This structure is initialized by the boot2 and passed to the loader, and then further to the kernel. Some nodes of this structure are set by boot2, the rest by the loader. This structure, among other information, contains the kernel filename, BIOS harddisk geometry, BIOS drive number for boot device, physical memory available, envp pointer etc. The definition for it is: /usr/include/machine/bootinfo.h struct bootinfo { u_int32_t bi_version; u_int32_t bi_kernelname; /* represents a char * */ u_int32_t bi_nfs_diskless; /* struct nfs_diskless * */ /* End of fields that are always present. */ #define bi_endcommon bi_n_bios_used u_int32_t bi_n_bios_used; u_int32_t bi_bios_geom[N_BIOS_GEOM]; u_int32_t bi_size; u_int8_t bi_memsizes_valid; u_int8_t bi_bios_dev; /* bootdev BIOS unit number */ u_int8_t bi_pad[2]; u_int32_t bi_basemem; u_int32_t bi_extmem; u_int32_t bi_symtab; /* struct symtab * */ u_int32_t bi_esymtab; /* struct symtab * */ /* Items below only from advanced bootloader */ u_int32_t bi_kernend; /* end of kernel space */ u_int32_t bi_envp; /* environment */ u_int32_t bi_modulep; /* preloaded modules */ }; boot2 enters into an infinite loop waiting for user input, and then calls load(). If user does not press anything, loop brakes by timeout, so load() will load default filename. Functions ino_t lookup(char *filename) and int xfsread(ino_t inode, void *buf, size_t nbyte) are used to read the content of the file into memory. /boot/loader is an ELF binary, where the ELF header is prepended by a.out's struct exec structure. The load() scans the loader's ELF header, loading the content of /boot/loader into memory, and passes the execution to loader's entry: sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c: __exec((caddr_t)addr, RB_BOOTINFO | (opts & RBX_MASK), MAKEBOOTDEV(dev_maj[dsk.type], 0, dsk.slice, dsk.unit, dsk.part), 0, 0, 0, VTOP(&bootinfo)); BTX loader stage loader is a BTX client as well. I will not describe it here in details, there is a comprehensive manual page written by Mike Smith, &man.loader.8;. The underlying mechanisms and BTX where discussed above. The main task for the loader is to boot the kernel. When the kernel is loaded into memory, it is being called by the loader: sys/boot/common/boot.c: /* Call the exec handler from the loader matching the kernel */ module_formats[km->m_loader]->l_exec(km); Kernel initialization To where exactly is the execution passed by the loader, i.e. what is the kernel's actual entry point. Let us take a look at the command that links the kernel, taken from the makefile: sys/conf/Makefile.i386: ld -elf -Bdynamic -T /usr/src/sys/conf/ldscript.i386 -export-dynamic \ -dynamic-linker /red/herring -o kernel -X locore.o \ <lots of kernel .o files> A few interesting things could be seen in this line. First, the kernel is an ELF dynamically linked binary, but the dymamic linker for kernel is /red/herring, which is definitely a bogus file. Second, taking a look at the file sys/conf/ldscript.i386 may give an idea about what ld options are used when compiling a kernel. Reading through the first few lines, the string sys/conf/ldscript.i386: ENTRY(btext) says that a kernel's entry point is the symbol `btext'. This symbol is defined in locore.s: sys/i386/i386/locore.s: .text /********************************************************************** * * This is where the bootblocks start us, set the ball rolling... * */ NON_GPROF_ENTRY(btext) First what is done is register EFLAGS is set to a predefined value of 0x00000002, and then all the segment registers are initialized: sys/i386/i386/locore.s /* Don't trust what the BIOS gives for eflags. */ pushl $PSL_KERNEL popfl /* * Don't trust what the BIOS gives for %fs and %gs. Trust the bootstrap * to set %cs, %ds, %es and %ss. */ mov %ds, %ax mov %ax, %fs mov %ax, %gs btext calls the routines recover_bootinfo(), identify_cpu(), create_pagetables(), which are also defined in locore.s. Here is a description of what they do: recover_bootinfo This routine parses the parameters to the kernel passed from the bootstrapping program. The Kernel may have been booted in 3 ways: by the loader, described above, by the old disk boot blocks, and by the old diskless boot procedure. This function determines the booting method, and stores the struct bootinfo structure into the kernel memory. identify_cpu This functions tries to find out what CPU it is running on, storing the value found in a variable _cpu. create_pagetables This function allocates and fills out a Page Table Directory on the top of the kernel memory area. The next steps are enabling VME, if the CPU supports it: testl $CPUID_VME, R(_cpu_feature) jz 1f movl %cr4, %eax orl $CR4_VME, %eax movl %eax, %cr4Then, enabling paging: /* Now enable paging */ movl R(_IdlePTD), %eax movl %eax,%cr3 /* load ptd addr into mmu */ movl %cr0,%eax /* get control word */ orl $CR0_PE|CR0_PG,%eax /* enable paging */ movl %eax,%cr0 /* and let's page NOW! */Up until now, the kernel was executing in protected mode, but at low memory addresses, where the loader has loaded the kernel. The next three lines of code orders FIXME pushl $begin /* jump to high virtualized address */ ret /* now running relocated at KERNBASE where the system is linked to run */ begin:The function init386() is called, with a pointer to the first free physical page, after that mi_startup(). init386 is an arch-dependent initialization function, and mi_startup is arch-independent one. The kernel never returns from mi_startup, and by calling it, the kernel finishes booting:sys/i386/i386/locore.s: movl physfree, %esi pushl %esi /* value of first for init386(first) */ call _init386 /* wire 386 chip for unix operation */ call _mi_startup /* autoconfiguration, mountroot etc */ hlt /* never returns to here */ <function>init386()</function> init386 is defined in sys/i386/i386/machdep.c and performs low-level initialization, specific to an i386 chip. The switch to protected mode was performed by the loader. The loader has created the very first task, in which the kernel continues to operate. Before running straight away to the code, I will enumerate the tasks the processor must complete to initialize protected mode execution: Initialize the kernel tunable parameters, passed from bootstapping program. Prepare GDT. Prepare IDT. Initialize the system console. Initialize DDB, if it is compiled itnto kernel. Initialize TSS. Prepare LDT. Setup proc0's pcb What init386() first does is initialize tunable parameters passed from bootstrap. This is done by setting the environment pointer (envp) and calling init_param1(). The envp pointer has been passed from loader in the bootinfo structure: sys/i386/i386/machdep.c: kern_envp = (caddr_t)bootinfo.bi_envp + KERNBASE; /* Init basic tunables, hz etc */ init_param1(); init_param1() is defined in sys/kern/subr_param.c. That file has a number of sysctls, and two functions, init_param1() and init_param2(), that are called from init386(): sys/kern/subr_param.c hz = HZ; TUNABLE_INT_FETCH("kern.hz", &hz); TUNABLE_<typename>_FETCH is used to fetch the value from the environment: /usr/src/sys/sys/kernel.h #define TUNABLE_INT_FETCH(path, var) getenv_int((path), (var)) Sysctl "kern.hz" is the system clock tick. Along with this, the following sysctls are set by init_param1(): kern.maxswzone, kern.maxbcache, kern.maxtsiz, kern.dfldsiz, kern.dflssiz, kern.maxssiz, kern.sgrowsiz. Then init386 prepares the Global Decriptor Table (GDT). Every task on an x86 is running in its own virtual address space, and this space is addressed by a segment:offset pair. Say, for instance, the current instruction to be executed by the processor lies at CS:EIP, then the "absolute" virtual address for that instruction would be "the virtual address of the code segment beginning" + "the value of EIP". For convenience, segments begin at virtual address 0 and end at a 4Gb boundary. Therefore, the absolute instruction's virtual address for this example would just be the value of EIP. Segment registers such as CS, DS etc are the selectors, i.e. indexes into the GDT (to be more precise, the index is not a selector itself, but an INDEX field of a selector). FreeBSD's GDT holds descriptors for 15 selectors per CPU: sys/i386/i386/machdep.c: union descriptor gdt[NGDT * MAXCPU]; /* global descriptor table */ sys/i386/include/segments.h: /* * Entries in the Global Descriptor Table (GDT) */ #define GNULL_SEL 0 /* Null Descriptor */ #define GCODE_SEL 1 /* Kernel Code Descriptor */ #define GDATA_SEL 2 /* Kernel Data Descriptor */ #define GPRIV_SEL 3 /* SMP Per-Processor Private Data */ #define GPROC0_SEL 4 /* Task state process slot zero and up */ #define GLDT_SEL 5 /* LDT - eventually one per process */ #define GUSERLDT_SEL 6 /* User LDT */ #define GTGATE_SEL 7 /* Process task switch gate */ #define GBIOSLOWMEM_SEL 8 /* BIOS low memory access (must be entry 8) */ #define GPANIC_SEL 9 /* Task state to consider panic from */ #define GBIOSCODE32_SEL 10 /* BIOS interface (32bit Code) */ #define GBIOSCODE16_SEL 11 /* BIOS interface (16bit Code) */ #define GBIOSDATA_SEL 12 /* BIOS interface (Data) */ #define GBIOSUTIL_SEL 13 /* BIOS interface (Utility) */ #define GBIOSARGS_SEL 14 /* BIOS interface (Arguments) */ Note that those #defines are not selectors themselves, but just a field INDEX of a selector, so they are exactly the indices of the GDT. For example, an actual selector for kernel code selector (GCODE_SEL) has the value 0x08. The next step is to initialize the Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT). This table is to be referenced by the processor when a software or hardware interrupt occurs. For example, to make a system call, a user application does a INT 0x80 instruction. This is a software interrupt, so the processor's hardware looks up a record with index 0x80 in the IDT. This record points to the routine that handles this interrupt, in this particular case, this will be the kernel's syscall gate. The IDT may have a maximum of 256 (0x100) records. The Kernel allocates NIDT records for the IDT, where the NIDT is the maximum (256): sys/i386/i386/machdep.c: static struct gate_descriptor idt0[NIDT]; struct gate_descriptor *idt = &idt0[0]; /* interrupt descriptor table */ For each interrupt, an appropriate handler is set. The syscall gate for INT 0x80 is set as well: sys/i386/i386/machdep.c: setidt(0x80, &IDTVEC(int0x80_syscall), SDT_SYS386TGT, SEL_UPL, GSEL(GCODE_SEL, SEL_KPL)); So when a userland application calls INT 0x80 instruction, control will transfer to the function _Xint0x80_syscall, which is in the kernel code segment and will be executed with supervisor privileges. Console and DDB are then initialized: sys/i386/i386/machdep.c: cninit(); /* skipped */ #ifdef DDB kdb_init(); if (boothowto & RB_KDB) Debugger("Boot flags requested debugger"); #endif The Task State Segment is another x86 protected mode structure, the TSS is used by the hardware to store task information when a task switch occurs. The Local Descriptors Table is used to reference userland code and data. Several selectors are defined to point to the LDT, they are the system call gates and the user code and data selectors: /usr/include/machine/segments.h #define LSYS5CALLS_SEL 0 /* forced by intel BCS */ #define LSYS5SIGR_SEL 1 #define L43BSDCALLS_SEL 2 /* notyet */ #define LUCODE_SEL 3 #define LSOL26CALLS_SEL 4 /* Solaris >= 2.6 system call gate */ #define LUDATA_SEL 5 /* separate stack, es,fs,gs sels ? */ /* #define LPOSIXCALLS_SEL 5*/ /* notyet */ #define LBSDICALLS_SEL 16 /* BSDI system call gate */ #define NLDT (LBSDICALLS_SEL + 1) Next, proc0's Process Control Block (struct pcb) structure is initialized. proc0 is a struct proc structure that describes a kernel process. It is always present while the kernel is running, therefore it is declared as a global: sys/kern/kern_init.c: struct proc proc0; The structure struct pcb is a part of the proc structure. It is defined in /usr/include/machine/pcb.h and has a process's information specific to the i386 architecture, such as register values. <function>mi_startup()</function> This function performs a bubble sort of all the system initialization objects and then calls the entry of each object one by one. The sysinit framework is described in the handbook: PUT FILE HERE for (sipp = sysinit; *sipp; sipp++) { /* ... skipped ... */ /* Call function */ (*((*sipp)->func))((*sipp)->udata); /* ... skipped ... */ } The last item on the list is the scheduler, which will not return and so we now have the system running.

I said no, it would be XFree86 3.mumble. Turns out that he'd looked at the online release notes for 4.5, which have a link to chapter 2 for installation. And buried in the online Handbook is a note that the XFree version that's installed is version 4. Except that we only started doing that after 4.5 was released. If he'd looked in the version of the Handbook that was in /usr/doc he'd have seen the right information. . . =2E . . except that he was doing this research *before* he'd installed FreeBSD. So there's a chicken and egg situation. Hence the question in my first paragraph. Thoughts?

[snip] Hmmm. I'm not real thrilled with the install document from the release docs. One thing to do might be to take the "real" installation chapter from the Handbook and stick it in place of the document in the release documentation. One potential problem with doing that is that the install chapter is kind of image-heavy, which doesn't work too well for documents that need to live on the mfsroot floppy. There's probably another way to do this, but that was the first thing that came to mind. Just a random thought. Bruce.

Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have to say that FreeBSD, while I usually admire its conservative good taste, has hung on to 3.X about 1-2 releases too long. For a while it was been some flusterment to be walking someone through an install and then, when we get to the 'configure X' part to say "nope, forget that, install this port, now execute this command with the -configure argument -- yeah yeah, I know it is not in the book but just do it" (be it Greg's book or the handbook etc). I was happy to find that the handbook has been updated to mention 4.X and how to deal with it. Nik, Is 4.X now the default? I was confused by your message. I hope it finally is. Secondly, might it not be better to just have had the mention of XFree in the handbook qualified by FreeBSD version. Many other parts have 4.X versus 5.0 instructions. I don't see why this should have been any different. OR are you saying that by linking to the online installation notes that information post-4.5 was being mixed in with information current with 4.5? Was this because one was the online handbook and it should have been following a local link? I think I have run into ickiness like that when I try to get port information online and find that it is inconsistent with my ports directory because I haven't cvsup-ed. Really, I suppose the best thing that one can strive for is that the docs one reads are current with the CD-set they came with and won't link out online unless there is a damn good reason to. -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Tue Jun 11 15:47: 4 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from sccrmhc01.attbi.com (sccrmhc01.attbi.com [204.127.202.61]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7238237B42F for ; Tue, 11 Jun 2002 15:46:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bmah.dyndns.org ([12.233.149.189]) by sccrmhc01.attbi.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.27 201-229-121-127-20010626) with ESMTP id <20020611224656.KCYO1024.sccrmhc01.attbi.com@bmah.dyndns.org>; Tue, 11 Jun 2002 22:46:56 +0000 Received: from intruder.bmah.org (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by bmah.dyndns.org (8.12.3/8.12.3) with ESMTP id g5BMkulC023017; Tue, 11 Jun 2002 15:46:56 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bmah@intruder.bmah.org) Received: (from bmah@localhost) by intruder.bmah.org (8.12.3/8.12.3/Submit) id g5BMktdk023016; Tue, 11 Jun 2002 15:46:55 -0700 (PDT) From: "Bruce A.

Yes, I'd say it is.

So there's a chicken and egg situation. ...it doesn't aid the situation where someone is installing fbsd on a second computer from, for example, 4.5 CDs, and reading the online docs.

You could easily 'ifdef' the images (and references thereto) out for use on the floppy could you not? Improving the installation instruction available at install time would be a major bonus.

Yes, I think this might be doable. One other thing we need to remember is that "not all the world's an i386". The installation instructions in the release docs are architecture dependent; I had to pull-up a bunch of the alpha material into the Handbook. We need to make sure this still works. murray did a cute thing with the FreeBSD Mall distribution of 4.5, which had the install chapter, plus all the screenshots, on the first CD. Bruce.

Was this because one was the online handbook and it should > have been following a local link? Yes. Right now, go to the website. Look at the top right where it says "Current Release: 4.5" (assuming 4.6 hasn't been released by the time you read this. The second link there is "Installation Guide" which goes to chapter 2 of the Handbook on the web site. The problem is that the handbook is now talking about 4-stable through to 4.6. There's information in the install guide that's correct for 4-stable, but that is incorrect for 4.5. For example, the version of X that's installed. There may be others. We could work around this in the text: ... If you're installing FreeBSD 4.5 or lower then the X version installed is 3.X. If you're installing FreeBSD 4.6 or above then the X version installed is 4.X. which is OK as far as it goes, but doesn't scale very well, and distracts from the flow of the text. Maybe repo copy chapter 2 to somewhere under the web tree at release time and build it as a smaller book. We could do the same thing without a repo copy because the Handbook's tagged with the release info, so the web site build infrastructure could just check out a copy of the chapter and its images with the correct tag. Anyone feel like giving this a go?

You're probably thinking to yourself, "Oh geez, not another miracle diet pill!"  Like you, I was skeptical at first, but my sister swore it helped her lose 23 pounds in just two weeks, so I told her I'd give it a shot.  I mean, there was nothing to lose except a lot of weight!  Let me tell you, it was the best decision I've ever made. Period.  Six months later, as I'm writing this message to you, I've gone from 355 pounds to 210 pounds, and I haven't changed my exercise routine or diet at all.  Yes, I still eat pizza, and lots of it! I was so happy with the results that I contacted the manufacturer and got permission to resell it - at a BIG discount.  I want to help other people lose weight like I did, because it does so much for your self-esteem, not to mention your health. I give you my personal pledge that Extreme Power Plus absolutely WILL WORK FOR YOU.  If it doesn't, you can return it any time for a full refund. Interested, visit http://2002marketing.com/affiliate3/index.htm    If you are frustrated with trying other products, not having any success, and just not getting the results you were promised, then I recommend the only product that worked for me - EXTREME POWER PLUS. You're probably asking yourself, "Ok, so how does this stuff actually work?" Extreme Power Plus contains Lipotropic fat burners and ephedra which is scientifically proven to increase metabolism and cause rapid weight loss. No "hocus pocus" in these pills - just RESULTS, RESULTS, RESULTS!! Here is the bottom line ... I can help you lose 10-15 pounds per week naturally, without exercising and without having to eat rice cakes all day.  Just try it for one month - there's nothing to lose, and everything to gain.  You will lose weight fast - GUARANTEED.  That is my pledge to you.  To order Extreme Power Plus on our secure server, just click on the link below: http://2002marketing.com/affiliate3/index.htm If you have difficulty accessing the website above, please try our mirror site by clicking on the link below: http://2002marketing.com/affiliate3/index.htm To see what some of our customers have said about this product, visit http://2002marketing.com/affiliate3/index.htm To see a list of ingredients and for more information on test studies and how it will help you lose weight, visit http://2002marketing.com/affiliate3/index.htm ************************************************************* If you do not wish to receive any more emails from me, please send an email to "affiliate2@btamail.net.cn" requesting to be removed. ************************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Wed Jun 12 22:15:47 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from mta4.rcsntx.swbell.net (mta4.rcsntx.swbell.net [151.164.30.28]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BCA3837B401 for ; Wed, 12 Jun 2002 22:15:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pagan ([65.69.238.177]) by mta4.rcsntx.swbell.net (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1 (built May 7 2001)) with SMTP id <0GXM00DVUPA7SU@mta4.rcsntx.swbell.net> for doc@FreeBSD.org; Thu, 13 Jun 2002 00:15:44 -0500 (CDT) Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 00:15:41 -0500 From: Michael Huettich Subject: errata on http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html To: doc@FreeBSD.org Message-id: <000501c21299$5da18d40$b1ee4541@thelovers.net> MIME-version: 1.0 X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-priority: Normal Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org In the section 19.2.1.4 Using FreeBSD-CURRENT # pkg_add -f ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/cvsupit-3.0.tgz Should read # pkg_add -f ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/cvsupit-3.1.tgz cvsupit-3.0.tgz is no longer available in that directory.

This way it will match the style of the rest of this > particular question/answer ;) Actually, I'd like to change my answer again if I may. Not so much on style grounds, but more to do with the placement of units really. It should actually be more like : 4096B * 1G = 4TB (bytes - bytes) just as in : 4096m * 1000 = 4096km (metres - meters) and : 4096m / 10s = 40.96m/s (metres seconds metres per second) [sheesh, what a pedant - sorry] The proposed patch above makes it sound like the block size is 1GB ! -- you can't see when light's so strong you can't see when light is gone To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Thu Jun 13 6:28: 3 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from smtp03.wxs.nl (smtp03.wxs.nl [195.121.6.37]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 51F4837B431; Thu, 13 Jun 2002 06:27:57 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cybertron.kruijff ([213.10.151.186]) by smtp03.wxs.nl (Netscape Messaging Server 4.15) with ESMTP id GXNBXP00.I3V; Thu, 13 Jun 2002 15:25:01 +0200 Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 15:25:41 +0200 From: Alex X-Mailer: The Bat!

List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org OK, here are some new diff's. Some were errors I hadn't caught before (and some I had) and some were changes I made because I got a better understanding of the material when I read it (like BTX). When talking about init, you mention that it is covered in "the book". Which book do you mean? do you mean "the FreeBSD Developer's Handbook" or "the FreeBSD Handbook" or something else? Just put something a tad more specific there. It would not hurt to run a spellchecker on it. If I were writing it, I'd do something like w3m boot.html > boot.txt to strip out the tags and then ispell boot.txt or better yet aspell boot.txt It is a pain to spellcheck stuff with a lot of code in it, which is why I'm not doing it for you, but think about the main of having to fix every error spotted by your readers if you don't fix it ahead of time. Oh one last thing. I do not know whether the proper term to use is harddisk or hard disk or hard-disk. I have normalized every occurrence in your text to harddisk so whichever you decide you can easily find and replace all occurrences. -r --- Serg Fri Jun 14 09:39:28 2002 +++ Serg.orig Fri Jun 14 09:20:28 2002 @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ Synopsis This chapter is an overview of the boot and system initialization - process, starting from the BIOS (firmware) POST, to the first user process + process, starting from the BIOS(firmware) POST, to the first user process creation.

Come up with a better search engine interface and backend than what we're currently using, preferably based on software that's available in the ports tree so that it's trivial for mirrors to set up. "better" in this case is subjective, and I can't recall a thread in here that's really covered a 'wishlist' of requirements for a better search system. So lets start one. Off the top of my head: The set of search operators is too small. I'd like to be able to limit my search to text that appears in the: Subject line Body text From/To address I'd like to do queries by date, so that I can search for messages that match only in the last 3 months. I'd like the bug that makes it flaky when you search more than three mailing list archives fixed. Viewing the thread that a message comes from is painful. Google have solved this in a particularly nice way -- you can view all the messages in a thread, in thread order, on a single page, using their Google Groups interface. An alternative way of specifying the mailing lists to search would be nice. Keep the checkboxes, but give me a box where I can type in "arch,current,hackers" to limit the search to just those lists -- I can type that much faster than I can navigate the mouse over to three fairly small interface elements and click. Especially if I have to scroll the screen in order to=20 reach all the checkboxes. Lose the requirement to specify "AND" and "OR" as connectives in the query string. The string =09 foo bar baz should rank messages that feature all three words high in the results. Messages that only feature two of them should be a little lower, and so on. Maybe use the (fairly) standard notation +foo +bar baz to indicate that 'foo' and 'bar' are mandatory, and that baz is optional. It's not clear when you limit the number of search results how the limit is done. Does it just stop when it finds the first 'n' results? Or does it gather all of them, order them, and show you the first 'n'. Better to generate a page of 'n' results at a time, where the user can specify how many results they want per page. When viewing the results, highlight the terms in the search that=20 matched in the text (maybe). Anyone else?

Thank you. I've updated the Handbook, in revision 1.126 of the file. You can see the change on CVSweb: http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge/chapter.sgml The changes should soon appear on the web too.

The whole engine will most likely be in Perl, and NO SQL db backend. I'll try a cvsup of www this weekend (I can do that right?). Will that lay out the file structure the same as the official www sites? I'd like to have an idea of how things are layed out before I begin my planning.

It is attached. -r Ross Lippert Edited by Multimedia Synopsis FreeBSD supports a wide variety of sound cards, allowing you to enjoy high fidelity output from your computer. This includes the ability to record and playback audio in the MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3), WAV, and Ogg Vorbis formats as well as many other formats. The FreeBSD Ports Collection also contains applications allowing you to edit your recorded audio, add sound effects, and control attached MIDI devices. With some willingness to experiment, FreeBSD can support playback of video files and DVD's. The number of applications to encode, re-encode, and playback various video media is more limited than the number of sound applications. For example as of this writing, there is no good transcoding application in the FreeBSD Ports Collection, which could be use to interconvert between formats, as there is with audio/sox. However, the software landscape in this area is changing rapidly. This chapter will describe the necessary steps to configure your sound card. The configuration and installation of XFree86 () has already taken care of the hardware issues for your video card, though there may be some tweaks to apply for better playback. After reading this chapter, you will know: How to configure your system so that your sound card is recognized. Methods to test that your card is working using sample applications. How to troubleshoot your sound setup. How to playback and encode MP3s and other audio. How video is supported by XFree86. Some video player/encoder ports which give good results. How to playback DVD's, .mpg and .avi files. How to rip CD and DVD information into files. Before reading this chapter, you should: Know how to configure and install a new kernel (). For the video sections, it is assumed that XFree86 4.X (x11/XFree86-4) has been installed. XFree86 3.X may work, but this author has not made the attempt. Warning: trying to mount an audio CD or a video DVD with the mount command will result in an error, at least, and a kernel panic, at worst. These media have specialized encodings which differ from the usual ISO-filesystem. Moses Moore Contributed by Setting Up The Sound Card Locating the Correct Device PCI ISA sound cards Before you begin, you should know the model of the card you have, the chip it uses, and whether it is a PCI or ISA card. FreeBSD supports a wide variety of both PCI and ISA cards. If you do not see your card in the following list, check the &man.pcm.4; manual page. This is not a complete list; however, it does list some of the most common cards. Crystal 4237, 4236, 4232, 4231 Yamaha OPL-SAx OPTi931 Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370/1371 ESS Solo-1/1E NeoMagic 256AV/ZX Sound Blaster Pro, 16, 32, AWE64, AWE128, Live Creative ViBRA16 Advanced Asound 100, 110, and Logic ALS120 ES 1868, 1869, 1879, 1888 Gravis UltraSound Aureal Vortex 1 or 2 kernel configuration To use your sound device, you will need to load the proper device driver. This may be accomplished in one of two ways. The easiest way is to simply load a kernel module for your sound card with &man.kldload.8;. Alternatively, you may statically compile in support for your sound card in your kernel. The sections below provide the information you need to add support for your hardware in this manner. For more information about recompiling your kernel, please see . Creative, Advance, and ESS Sound Cards If you have one of the above cards, you will need to add: device pcm to your kernel configuration file. If you have a PnP ISA card, you will also need to add: device sbc For a non-PnP ISA card, add: device pcm device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 to your kernel configuration file. The settings shown above are the defaults. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. See the &man.sbc.4; manual page for more information. The Sound Blaster Live is not supported under FreeBSD 4.0 without a patch, which this section will not cover. It is recommended that you update to the latest -STABLE before trying to use this card. Gravis UltraSound Cards For a PnP ISA card, you will need to add: device pcm device gusc to your kernel configuration file. If you have a non-PnP ISA card, you will need to add: device pcm device gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x13 to your kernel configuration file. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. See the &man.gusc.4; manual page for more information. Crystal Sound Cards For Crystal cards, you will need to add: device pcm device csa to your kernel configuration file. Generic Support For PnP ISA or PCI cards, you will need to add: device pcm to your kernel configuration file. If you have a non-PnP ISA sound card that does not have a bridge driver, you will need to add: device pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 to your kernel configuration file. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. Onboard Sound Some systems with built-in motherboard sound devices may require the following option in your kernel configuration: options PNPBIOS Creating and Testing the Device Nodes device nodes After you reboot, log in and run dmesg | grep pcm as shown below: &prompt.root; dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.11> on sbc0 The output from your system may look different. If no pcm devices show up, something went wrong earlier. If that happens, go through your kernel configuration file again and make sure you chose the correct device. Consult the troubleshooting section for additional options. If the previous command returned pcm0, you will have to run the following as root: &prompt.root; cd /dev &prompt.root; sh MAKEDEV snd0 If the command returned pcm1, follow the same steps as shown above, replacing snd0 with snd1. The above commands will not create a /dev/snd device! MAKEDEV will create a group of device nodes, including: Device Description /dev/audio SPARC-compatible audio device /dev/dsp Digitized voice device /dev/dspW Like /dev/dsp, but 16 bits per sample /dev/midi Raw midi access device /dev/mixer Control port mixer device /dev/music Level 2 sequencer interface /dev/sequencer Sequencer device /dev/pss Programmable device interface If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is properly coupled to your soundcard, you can put a CD in the drive and play it with &man.cdcontrol.1;.&prompt.user; cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c play 1Various applications, such as audio/workman offer a better interface. You may want to install an application such as audio/mpg123 to listen to audio files. Common Problems Error Solution device node unsupported subdevice XX One or more of the device nodes was not created correctly. Repeat the steps above. I/O port sb_dspwr(XX) timed out The I/O port is not set correctly. IRQ bad irq XX The IRQ is set incorrectly. Make sure that the set IRQ and the sound IRQ are the same. xxx: gus pcm not attached, out of memory There is not enough available memory to use the device. DSP xxx: can't open /dev/dsp! Check with fstat | grep dsp if another application is holding the device open. Noteworthy troublemakers are esound and KDE's sound support. Chern Lee Contributed by MP3 Audio MP3 (MPEG Layer 3 Audio) accomplishes near CD-quality sound, leaving no reason to let your FreeBSD workstation fall short of its offerings. MP3 Players By far, the most popular XFree86 MP3 player is XMMS (X Multimedia System). Winamp skins can be used with XMMS since the GUI is almost identical to that of Nullsoft's Winamp. XMMS also has native plug-in support. XMMS can be installed from the audio/xmms port or package. XMMS' interface is intuitive, with a playlist, graphic equalizer, and more. Those familiar with Winamp will find XMMS simple to use. The audio/mpg123 port is an alternative, command-line MP3 player. mpg123 can be run by specifying the sound device and the MP3 file on the command line, as shown below: &prompt.root; mpg123 -a /dev/dsp1.0 Foobar-GreatestHits.mp3 High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2 and 3. Version 0.59r (1999/Jun/15). Written and copyrights by Michael Hipp. Uses code from various people. See 'README' for more! THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Playing MPEG stream from BT - Foobar-GreastHits.mp3 ... MPEG 1.0 layer III, 128 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo /dev/dsp1.0 should be replaced with the dsp device entry on your system. Ripping CD Audio Tracks Before encoding a CD or CD track to MP3, the audio data on the CD must be ripped onto the hard drive. This is done by copying the raw CDDA (CD Digital Audio) data to WAV files. The cdda2wav tool, which is a part of the sysutils/cdrtools suite, is used for ripping audio information from CDs and the information associated with them. With the audio CD in the drive, the following command can be issued (as root) to rip an entire CD into individual (per track) WAV files: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -B cdda2wav will support ATAPI (IDE) CDROM drives. To rip from an IDE drive, specify the device name in place of the SCSI unit numbers. For example, to rip track 7 from an IDE drive: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D /dev/acd0a -t 7 The indicates the SCSI device 0,1,0, which corresponds to the output of cdrecord -scanbus. To rip individual tracks, make use of the option as shown: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -t 7 This example rips track seven of the audio CDROM. To rip a range of tracks, for example, track one to seven, specify a range: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -t 1+7 Encoding MP3s Nowadays, the mp3 encoder of choice is lame. Lame can be found at audio/lame in the ports tree. Using the ripped WAV files, the following command will convert audio01.wav to audio01.mp3: &prompt.root; lame -h -b 128 \ --tt "Foo Song Title" \ --ta "FooBar Artist" \ --tl "FooBar Album" \ --ty "2001" \ --tc "Ripped and encoded by Foo" \ --tg "Genre" \ audio01.wav audio01.mp3 128 kbits seems to be the standard MP3 bitrate in use. Many enjoy the higher quality 160, or 192. The higher the bitrate, the more disk space the resulting MP3 will consume--but the quality will be higher. The option turns on the higher quality but a little slower mode. The options beginning with indicate ID3 tags, which usually contain song information, to be embedded within the MP3 file. Additional encoding options can be found by consulting the lame man page. Decoding MP3s In order to burn an audio CD from MP3s, they must be converted to a non-compressed WAV format. Both XMMS and mpg123 support the output of MP3 to an uncompressed file format. Writing to Disk in XMMS: Launch XMMS. Right-click on the window to bring up the XMMS menu. Select Preference under Options. Change the Output Plugin to Disk Writer Plugin. Press Configure. Enter (or choose browse) a directory to write the uncompressed files to. Load the MP3 file into XMMS as usual, with volume at 100% and EQ settings turned off. Press Play — XMMS will appear as if it is playing the MP3, but no music will be heard. It is actually playing the MP3 to a file. Be sure to set the default Output Plugin back to what it was before in order to listen to MP3s again. Writing to stdout in mpg123: Run mpg123 -s audio01.mp3 > audio01.pcm XMMS writes a file in the WAV format, while mpg123 converts the MP3 into raw PCM audio data. Both of these formats can be used with cdrecord or burncd to create audio CDROMs. Read for more information on using a CD burner in FreeBSD. Ross Lippert Contributed by Video Playback Video Payback is a very new and rapidly developing application area. Be patient. Not everything is going to work as smoothly as it did with sound. Before you begin, you should know the model of the video card you have and the chip it uses. While XFree86 supports a wide variety of video cards, a much smaller number give good playback performance. To obtain a list of extensions supported by the X-server using your card use the command &man.xdpyinfo.1; while X11 is running. It is a good idea to have a short MPEG file which can be treated as a test file for evaluating various players and options. Some DVD players default or are hardcoded to look for DVD media in /dev/dvd, this it is a good idea to use a symbolic links: &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/racd0c /dev/rdvd On FreeBSD-5.X, which uses devfs there is a slightly different set of recommended links: &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/rdvd Additionally, DVD-decoding will require write permission on the DVD devices. Some of the ports discussed rely on the following kernel options to build correctly. Before attempting to build, add these options to the kernel and reboot: option CPU_ENABLE_SSE option USER_LDT To enhance the shared memory X11 interface, it is recommended that the values of some &man.sysctl.8; variables should be increase: kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 kern.ipc.shmall=32768 Determining Video capabilities Xvideo Xv sdl SDL dga DGA kernel configuration options CPU_ENABLE_SSE kernel configuration options USER_LDT Video display under X11 suffers from a multitude of possibilities, what will really work is largely hardware dependent. Each method described below will have varying quality across different hardware. Secondly, the rendering of video in X11 is a topic receiving a lot of attention lately, and with each version of XFree86 there may be significant improvement. A list of common video interfaces: X11 : normal X11 output using shared memory XVideo : an extension to the X11 interface which supports video in any X11 drawable. SDL : the Simple Directmedia Layer DGA : the Direct Graphics Access SVGAlib : low level console graphics layer XVideo XFree86 4.X has an extension called XVideo (aka Xvideo, aka Xv, aka xv) which allows video to be directly displayed in drawable objects through a special acceleration. This extension provides very good quality playback on even low-end machines (for example my PIII 400Mhz laptop). Unfortunately, the list of cards in which this feature is supported out of the box is currently: 3DFX Voodoo 3 Intel i810 and i815 some S3 chips (such as Savage/IX and Savage/MX) If your card is not one of these, do not be disappointed yet. XFree86 4.X adds new xv capabilities with each release A popular familiar graphics card with generally very good XFree86 performance, nVidia, has yet to release the specifications on their XVideo support to the XFree86 team. It may be some time before XFree86 fully support XVideo for these cards. . To check whether the extension is running, use xvinfo: &prompt.user; xvinfo XVideo is supported for your card if the result looks like: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: "Savage Streams Engine" number of ports: 1 port base: 43 operations supported: PutImage supported visuals: depth 16, visualID 0x22 depth 16, visualID 0x23 number of attributes: 5 "XV_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 16777215) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 2110) "XV_BRIGHTNESS" (range -128 to 127) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_CONTRAST" (range 0 to 255) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 128) "XV_SATURATION" (range 0 to 255) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 128) "XV_HUE" (range -180 to 180) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) maximum XvImage size: 1024 x 1024 Number of image formats: 7 id: 0x32595559 (YUY2) guid: 59555932-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x32315659 (YV12) guid: 59563132-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x30323449 (I420) guid: 49343230-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x36315652 (RV16) guid: 52563135-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: RGB (packed) depth: 0 red, green, blue masks: 0x1f, 0x3e0, 0x7c00 id: 0x35315652 (RV15) guid: 52563136-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: RGB (packed) depth: 0 red, green, blue masks: 0x1f, 0x7e0, 0xf800 id: 0x31313259 (Y211) guid: 59323131-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 6 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x0 guid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 0 number of planes: 0 type: RGB (packed) depth: 1 red, green, blue masks: 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 Also note that the formats listed (YUV2, YUV12, etc) are not present with every implementation of Xvideo and their absense may hinder some players. If the result looks like: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present Then XVideo is probably not supported for your card. If XVideo is not supported for your card, this only means that it will be more difficult for your display to meet the computational demands of rendering video. Depending on your video card and processor, though, you might still be able to have a satisfying experience. You probably should read about ways to improving performance in the advanced reading . Simple Directmedia Layer The Simple Directmedia Layer, SDL, was intended to be a porting layers between Microsoft Windows, BeOS, and Unix, allowing cross-platform applications to be developed which made efficient use of sound and graphics. The SDL layer provides a low-level abstraction to the hardware which can sometimes be more efficient than the X11 interface. The SDL can be found at sdl12 Direct Graphics Access Direct Graphics Access is an XFree86 extension which allows a program to bypass the X-server and directly alter the framebuffer. Because it relies on a low level memory mapping to effect this sharing, programs using it must must be run as root The DGA extension can be tested and benchmarked by &man.dga.1;. When dga is running, it changes the colors of the display whenever a key is pressed. To quit, use q. Ports and Packages Dealing with Video video ports video packages This section will discuss the software available from the FreeBSD Ports Collection which can be used for video playback. Video playback is a very active area of software development, and the capabilities of various applications are bound to diverge somewhat from the descriptions given here. Firstly, it is important to know that most of the video applications which run of FreeBSD were developed as Linux applications, originating in the past year. For this reason, they are both, very experimental and also riddled with Linux-isms which might prevent them from working at full efficiency on FreeBSD. By experimental, I mean that you can expect re-encoders, players, and DVD decrypters to all have some major bugs, or interoperability problems with other programs. Here is a short list of the sorts of things I mean: An application cannot playback a file which another application produced. An application cannot playback a file which the application itself produced. The same application on two different machines, rebuilt on each machine for that machine, plays back the same file differently A seemingly trivial filter like rescaling of the image size results in very bad artifacts from a buggy rescaling routine. Application always dumping core. Documentation is not installed with the port and can be found either on the web or under PORTPATH/work/ . By Linux-isms, I mean that there are some issues resulting from the way some standard libraries are implemented in the Linux distributions, or some features of the Linux kernel which have been assumed by the authors of the applications, because that is where the authors are primarily developing. These issues may not be noticed and worked around by the port maintainers which can lead to some problems like these: The use of /proc/cpuinfo to detect processor characteristics. A misuse of threads which causes a program to hang upon completion than truly terminate. Software not yet in the FreeBSD Ports Collection which is commonly used in conjunction with the application. So far, these application developers have been cooperative with port maintainers to minimize the work-arounds needed for port-ing. MPlayer MPlayer is a recently developed and rapidly developing video player. The goals of the MPlayer team are speed and flexibility on Linux and other Unices. The project was started when the team founder got fed up with bad playback performance on then available players. Some would say that interface has been sacrificed for streamlined design, but once you get used to the command line options and the key-stroke controls, it works very well. Building MPlayer mplayer making MPlayer resides in graphics/mplayer. MPlayer performs a variety of hardware checks during the build process, resulting in a binary which will not be portable from one system to another. Thus it is important to build it from ports and not to use a binary package. Additionally, a number of options can be specified in the make which echo at the start of the build. &prompt.root; cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer &prompt.root; make You can enable additional compilation optimizations by defining WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS You can enable GTK GUI by defining WITH_GUI. You can enable DVD support by defining WITH_DVD. You can enable SVGALIB support by defining WITH_SVGALIB. You can enable VORBIS sound support by defining WITH_VORBIS. You can enable XAnim DLL support by defining WITH_XANIM. If you have x11-toolkits/gtk12 installed, then you might as well enable to GUI. Otherwise, it is not worth the effort. If you intend to play (possibly CSS encoded) DVD's with MPlayer you must enable to DVD support option here Unauthorized DVD playback is a serious criminal act in some countries. Check local laws before enabling this option. . Some reasonable options are: &prompt.root; make WITH_DVD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes As of this writing, the MPlayer port will build its HTML documentation and one executable, mplayer. It can also be made to build an encoder, mencoder, which is a tool for re-encoding video. A modification to the Makefile can enable it. It may be enabled by default in subsequent versions of the port. The HTML documentation to MPlayer is very informative. If the reader finds the information on video hardware and interfaces in thie chapter lacking, the MPlayer documentation is a very thorough alternative. I urge its reading by anyone wishing to obtain expertise in Unix video. Using mplayer mplayer use Any user of mplayer must set up a .mplayer subdirectory directory of her home directory. to create this necessary subdirectory, you can do the following: &prompt.user; cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer &prompt.user; make install-user The command options for mplayer are listed in the manual page. For even more detail there is HTML documentation. In this section, we will give some of the common use cases. To play from file, such as testfile.avi through one of the various video interfaces set the : &prompt.user; mplayer -vo xv testfile.avi &prompt.user; mplayer -vo sdl testfile.avi &prompt.user; mplayer -vo x11 testfile.avi &prompt.root; mplayer -vo dga testfile.avi &prompt.root; mplayer -vo 'sdl:dga' testfile.avi It is worth trying all of these options, as their relative performance depends on many factors and will vary significantly with hardware. To play from a DVD, replace the testfile.avi with where <N> is the title number to play and DEVICE is the device file for the DVD-ROM. For example, to play title 3 from /dev/dvd: &prompt.root; mplayer -vo dga -dvd 2 /dev/dvd To stop, pause, advance and so on, consult the keybindings, which are output by running mplayer -h or read the manual page. Additional important options for playback are: which engages the fullscreen mode and which helps performance. In order for the mplayer command line to not become too large, the user can create a file .mplayer/config and set default options there: vo=xv fs=yes zoom=yes Remember, if you are going to run as root then set this in the root home directory as well. Finally, mplayer can be used to rip a DVD title into a .vob file. To dump out title 2 from a DVD: &prompt.root; mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile out.vob -dvd 2 /dev/dvd The output file, out.vob, will be MPEG and can be manipulated by the other packages discussed in this section. mencoder mencoder If you opt to install mencoder when you build, be forewarned that it is still quite experimental. To use mencoder it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the options from the HTML documentation. There is a manual page, but it is not very useful without the HTML. There are innummerable ways to improve quality, lower bitrate, and change formats, and some of these tricks may make the difference between good playback performance and bad. Here are a couple of examples to get you going. First a simple copy: &prompt.user; mencoder input.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.avi It is easy to find examples where the output is unplayable even by mplayer. Thus, if you just want to rip to a file, stick to the in mplayer. To re-encode input.avi in the MPEG4 codec with MPEG3 audio encoding ( audio/lame is required): &prompt.user; mencoder input.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=192 \ -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq -o output.avi This has produced output playable by mplayer and Xine. input.avi can be replaced with and run as root to re-encode a DVD title directly. Since you are likely to be dissatisfied with your results the first time around, it is recommended you dump the title to a file and work on the file. Xine Xine is a project of wide scope aiming not only at being an all in one video solution, but also in producing a reusable base library and a modular executable which can be extended with plugins. It comes both as a package and as a port, graphics/xine. The good news is that the above is pretty much true. Xine is still very rough around the edges, but it is clearly off to a good start. In practice, Xine requires either a fast CPU with a fast video card, or support for the XVideo extension. The GUI is usable, but a bit clumsy. As of this writing, there is no input module shipped with Xine which will play CSS encoded DVD's. There are third party builds which do have modules for this built in them, but none of these are in the FreeBSD Ports Collection. Compared to MPlayer, Xine does more for the user, but at the same time, takes some of the more fine-grained control away from the user. Xine also may perform much worse on the non-XVideo interfaces and has very few good alternatives to it. The Xine FAQ highly recommends that you have a video card which supports it. Xine can be started by itself: &prompt.user; xine The menus can then be used to open a file, or it can be started to play a file immediately without the gui with the command: &prompt.user; xine -g -p mymovie.avi Transcode Transcode is not a player, but a suite of tools for re-encoding .avi and .mpg files. With Transcode, one has the ability to merge video files, repair broken files, using command line tools with stdin/stdout stream interfaces. Like MPlayer, Transcode is very experimental software which must be build from the port graphics/transcode. Using a great many options to the make. I recommend: &prompt.root; make WITH_LIBMPEG2=yes If you plan to install graphics/avifile, then add that option: &prompt.root; make WITH_AVIFILE=yes WITH_LIBMPEG2=yes Here are two examples of transcode for video conversion which produce rescaled output. The first encodes the output to an openDIVX AVI file, while the second encodes to the much more portable MPEG format. &prompt.user; transcode -i input.vob -x vob -V -Z 320x240 \ -y opendivx -N 0x55 -o output.avi &prompt.user; transcode -i input.vob -x vob -V -Z 320x240 \ -y mpeg -N 0x55 -o output.tmp tcmplex -o output.mpg -i output.tmp.m1v -p output.tmp.mpa -m 1 There is a manual page for transcode, but for the various tc* utilities which are also installed, there is only a curt output. In comparison, transcode runs significantly slower than mencoder, but it has a better chance of producing a more widely playable file. I can play transcode MPEGs on older copies of Windows Media Player and Apple's Quicktime, for example. Further Reading I have no doubt that within a year, much that is in this chapter will be out of date. Video will probably be much less problematic to get working well and a port will be in the collection which turns a FreeBSD system into a DVD-playing, PVR, and virtual A/V studio. Until that day arrives, those who want to get the very most out of FreeBSD's A/V capabilities will have to cobble together knowledge from several FAQs and tutorials and use a few different applications. This section exists to give the reader some links to learn more in case this chapter was just helpful enough. The MPlayer documentation is very technically informative. These documents should probably be consulted by anyone wishing to obtain a high level of expertise with Unix video. The MPlayer mailing list is hostile to anyone who has not bothered to read the documentation, so if you plan on making bug reports to them, RTFM. The Xine HOWTO contains a chapter on performance improvement which is general to all players. Finally, there are some other promising applications which may become useful additions to the FreeBSD Ports Collection: AVIFile which is also a port graphics/avifile. Ogle which is also a port graphics/ogle.

It is attached. Hello Ross & all, Sorry it has taken me so long to post a review to a chapter that was also Cc:'ed to me! First of all, thanks for letting me know the work on this was going on fine. I have taken the time to read through the chapter, paying attention to what was written. I am bound to have missed some details, but here's my short & quick review of it: : have been re-arrenged but the contents, remain the same.

Please, if you must write something about it, refer to XFree86 3.X with something like: XFree86 3.X may work, but it has not been tested with the what is described in this chapter. If you find that something described here does not work with XFree86 3.X please let us know. I would much prefer this part written like that.

I sure do hope my comments won't put you off from making future contributions, or discourage you about this one. I am only trying to get the best results possible out, therefore take all the comments above with a grain of salt or many grains of salt. Whatever makes you feel better.

To convert is to go from one format to another with possible changes due to compression loss, like going from jpg to gif or going from wav to mp3. Aside from conversion of video there is cropping, demuxing the A/V, muxing A/V, splitting and joining streams. I've been trying to use re-encode for all these functions. The use of 'transcode' as a verb is a hold-over from before I settled on using re-encode. > XFree86 3.X may work, but it has not been tested with the > what is described in this chapter.

Well, from what I have read on the X site, Xvideo is just a brand new 4.X feature, so it is guarranteed not to work.

What get fixed now won't be a PR later. Attached is the newer version. -r Ross Lippert Edited by Multimedia Synopsis FreeBSD supports a wide variety of sound cards, allowing you to enjoy high fidelity output from your computer. This includes the ability to record and playback audio in the MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3), WAV, and Ogg Vorbis formats as well as many other formats. The FreeBSD Ports Collection also contains applications allowing you to edit your recorded audio, add sound effects, and control attached MIDI devices. With some willingness to experiment, FreeBSD can support playback of video files and DVD's. The number of applications to encode, convert, and playback various video media is more limited than the number of sound applications. For example as of this writing, there is no good re-encoding application in the FreeBSD Ports Collection, which could be use to interconvert between formats, as there is with audio/sox. However, the software landscape in this area is changing rapidly. This chapter will describe the necessary steps to configure your sound card. The configuration and installation of XFree86 () has already taken care of the hardware issues for your video card, though there may be some tweaks to apply for better playback. After reading this chapter, you will know: How to configure your system so that your sound card is recognized. Methods to test that your card is working using sample applications. How to troubleshoot your sound setup. How to playback and encode MP3s and other audio. How video is supported by XFree86. Some video player/encoder ports which give good results. How to playback DVD's, .mpg and .avi files. How to rip CD and DVD information into files. Before reading this chapter, you should: Know how to configure and install a new kernel (). For the video sections, it is assumed that XFree86 4.X (x11/XFree86-4) has been installed. XFree86 3.X may work, but it has not been tested with the what is described in this chapter. If you find that something described here does work with XFree86 3.X please let us know. Trying to mount an audio CD or a video DVD with the mount command will result in an error, at least, and a kernel panic, at worst. These media have specialized encodings which differ from the usual ISO-filesystem. Moses Moore Contributed by Setting Up The Sound Card Locating the Correct Device PCI ISA sound cards Before you begin, you should know the model of the card you have, the chip it uses, and whether it is a PCI or ISA card. FreeBSD supports a wide variety of both PCI and ISA cards. If you do not see your card in the following list, check the &man.pcm.4; manual page. This is not a complete list; however, it does list some of the most common cards. Crystal 4237, 4236, 4232, 4231 Yamaha OPL-SAx OPTi931 Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370/1371 ESS Solo-1/1E NeoMagic 256AV/ZX Sound Blaster Pro, 16, 32, AWE64, AWE128, Live Creative ViBRA16 Advanced Asound 100, 110, and Logic ALS120 ES 1868, 1869, 1879, 1888 Gravis UltraSound Aureal Vortex 1 or 2 kernel configuration To use your sound device, you will need to load the proper device driver. This may be accomplished in one of two ways. The easiest way is to simply load a kernel module for your sound card with &man.kldload.8;. Alternatively, you may statically compile in support for your sound card in your kernel. The sections below provide the information you need to add support for your hardware in this manner. For more information about recompiling your kernel, please see . Creative, Advance, and ESS Sound Cards If you have one of the above cards, you will need to add: device pcm to your kernel configuration file. If you have a PnP ISA card, you will also need to add: device sbc For a non-PnP ISA card, add: device pcm device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 to your kernel configuration file. The settings shown above are the defaults. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. See the &man.sbc.4; manual page for more information. The Sound Blaster Live is not supported under FreeBSD 4.0 without a patch, which this section will not cover. It is recommended that you update to the latest -STABLE before trying to use this card. Gravis UltraSound Cards For a PnP ISA card, you will need to add: device pcm device gusc to your kernel configuration file. If you have a non-PnP ISA card, you will need to add: device pcm device gus0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x13 to your kernel configuration file. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. See the &man.gusc.4; manual page for more information. Crystal Sound Cards For Crystal cards, you will need to add: device pcm device csa to your kernel configuration file. Generic Support For PnP ISA or PCI cards, you will need to add: device pcm to your kernel configuration file. If you have a non-PnP ISA sound card that does not have a bridge driver, you will need to add: device pcm0 at isa? irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 to your kernel configuration file. You may need to change the IRQ or the other settings to match your card. Onboard Sound Some systems with built-in motherboard sound devices may require the following option in your kernel configuration: options PNPBIOS Creating and Testing the Device Nodes device nodes After you reboot, log in and run dmesg | grep pcm as shown below: &prompt.root; dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.11> on sbc0 The output from your system may look different. If no pcm devices show up, something went wrong earlier. If that happens, go through your kernel configuration file again and make sure you chose the correct device. Consult the troubleshooting section for additional options. If the previous command returned pcm0, you will have to run the following as root: &prompt.root; cd /dev &prompt.root; sh MAKEDEV snd0 If the command returned pcm1, follow the same steps as shown above, replacing snd0 with snd1. The above commands will not create a /dev/snd device! MAKEDEV will create a group of device nodes, including: Device Description /dev/audio SPARC-compatible audio device /dev/dsp Digitized voice device /dev/dspW Like /dev/dsp, but 16 bits per sample /dev/midi Raw midi access device /dev/mixer Control port mixer device /dev/music Level 2 sequencer interface /dev/sequencer Sequencer device /dev/pss Programmable device interface If all goes well, you should now have a functioning sound card. If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is properly coupled to your soundcard, you can put a CD in the drive and play it with &man.cdcontrol.1;.&prompt.user; cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c play 1Various applications, such as audio/workman offer a better interface. You may want to install an application such as audio/mpg123 to listen to audio files. Common Problems Error Solution device node unsupported subdevice XX One or more of the device nodes was not created correctly. Repeat the steps above. I/O port sb_dspwr(XX) timed out The I/O port is not set correctly. IRQ bad irq XX The IRQ is set incorrectly. Make sure that the set IRQ and the sound IRQ are the same. xxx: gus pcm not attached, out of memory There is not enough available memory to use the device. DSP xxx: can't open /dev/dsp! Check with fstat | grep dsp if another application is holding the device open. Noteworthy troublemakers are esound and KDE's sound support. Chern Lee Contributed by MP3 Audio MP3 (MPEG Layer 3 Audio) accomplishes near CD-quality sound, leaving no reason to let your FreeBSD workstation fall short of its offerings. MP3 Players By far, the most popular XFree86 MP3 player is XMMS (X Multimedia System). Winamp skins can be used with XMMS since the GUI is almost identical to that of Nullsoft's Winamp. XMMS also has native plug-in support. XMMS can be installed from the audio/xmms port or package. XMMS' interface is intuitive, with a playlist, graphic equalizer, and more. Those familiar with Winamp will find XMMS simple to use. The audio/mpg123 port is an alternative, command-line MP3 player. mpg123 can be run by specifying the sound device and the MP3 file on the command line, as shown below: &prompt.root; mpg123 -a /dev/dsp1.0 Foobar-GreatestHits.mp3 High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2 and 3. Version 0.59r (1999/Jun/15). Written and copyrights by Michael Hipp. Uses code from various people. See 'README' for more! THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Playing MPEG stream from BT - Foobar-GreastHits.mp3 ... MPEG 1.0 layer III, 128 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo /dev/dsp1.0 should be replaced with the dsp device entry on your system. Ripping CD Audio Tracks Before encoding a CD or CD track to MP3, the audio data on the CD must be ripped onto the hard drive. This is done by copying the raw CDDA (CD Digital Audio) data to WAV files. The cdda2wav tool, which is a part of the sysutils/cdrtools suite, is used for ripping audio information from CDs and the information associated with them. With the audio CD in the drive, the following command can be issued (as root) to rip an entire CD into individual (per track) WAV files: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -B cdda2wav will support ATAPI (IDE) CDROM drives. To rip from an IDE drive, specify the device name in place of the SCSI unit numbers. For example, to rip track 7 from an IDE drive: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D /dev/acd0a -t 7 The indicates the SCSI device 0,1,0, which corresponds to the output of cdrecord -scanbus. To rip individual tracks, make use of the option as shown: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -t 7 This example rips track seven of the audio CDROM. To rip a range of tracks, for example, track one to seven, specify a range: &prompt.root; cdda2wav -D 0,1,0 -t 1+7 Encoding MP3s Nowadays, the mp3 encoder of choice is lame. Lame can be found at audio/lame in the ports tree. Using the ripped WAV files, the following command will convert audio01.wav to audio01.mp3: &prompt.root; lame -h -b 128 \ --tt "Foo Song Title" \ --ta "FooBar Artist" \ --tl "FooBar Album" \ --ty "2001" \ --tc "Ripped and encoded by Foo" \ --tg "Genre" \ audio01.wav audio01.mp3 128 kbits seems to be the standard MP3 bitrate in use. Many enjoy the higher quality 160, or 192. The higher the bitrate, the more disk space the resulting MP3 will consume--but the quality will be higher. The option turns on the higher quality but a little slower mode. The options beginning with indicate ID3 tags, which usually contain song information, to be embedded within the MP3 file. Additional encoding options can be found by consulting the lame man page. Decoding MP3s In order to burn an audio CD from MP3s, they must be converted to a non-compressed WAV format. Both XMMS and mpg123 support the output of MP3 to an uncompressed file format. Writing to Disk in XMMS: Launch XMMS. Right-click on the window to bring up the XMMS menu. Select Preference under Options. Change the Output Plugin to Disk Writer Plugin. Press Configure. Enter (or choose browse) a directory to write the uncompressed files to. Load the MP3 file into XMMS as usual, with volume at 100% and EQ settings turned off. Press Play — XMMS will appear as if it is playing the MP3, but no music will be heard. It is actually playing the MP3 to a file. Be sure to set the default Output Plugin back to what it was before in order to listen to MP3s again. Writing to stdout in mpg123: Run mpg123 -s audio01.mp3 > audio01.pcm XMMS writes a file in the WAV format, while mpg123 converts the MP3 into raw PCM audio data. Both of these formats can be used with cdrecord or burncd to create audio CDROMs. Read for more information on using a CD burner in FreeBSD. Ross Lippert Contributed by Video Playback Video playback is a very new and rapidly developing application area. Be patient. Not everything is going to work as smoothly as it did with sound. Before you begin, you should know the model of the video card you have and the chip it uses. While XFree86 supports a wide variety of video cards, fewer give good playback performance. To obtain a list of extensions supported by the X-server using your card use the command &man.xdpyinfo.1; while X11 is running. It is a good idea to have a short MPEG file which can be treated as a test file for evaluating various players and options. Since some DVD players will look for DVD media in /dev/dvd by default, or have this device name hardcoded in them, you might find it useful to make symbolic links to the proper devices: &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/racd0c /dev/rdvd On FreeBSD-5.X, which uses devfs there is a slightly different set of recommended links: &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/dvd &prompt.root; ln -sf /dev/acd0c /dev/rdvd Additionally, DVD decryption requires write permission on the DVD devices. Some of the ports discussed rely on the following kernel options to build correctly. Before attempting to build, add these options to the kernel and reboot: option CPU_ENABLE_SSE option USER_LDT To enhance the shared memory X11 interface, it is recommended that the values of some &man.sysctl.8; variables should be increased: kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 kern.ipc.shmall=32768 Determining Video capabilities Xvideo SDL DGA kernel configuration options CPU_ENABLE_SSE kernel configuration options USER_LDT There are several ways to display video under X11 suffers from a multitude of possibilities, what will really work is largely hardware dependent. Each method described below will have varying quality across different hardware. Secondly, the rendering of video in X11 is a topic receiving a lot of attention lately, and with each version of XFree86 there may be significant improvement. A list of common video interfaces: X11: normal X11 output using shared memory XVideo: an extension to the X11 interface which supports video in any X11 drawable. SDL: the Simple Directmedia Layer DGA: the Direct Graphics Access SVGAlib: low level console graphics layer XVideo XFree86 4.X has an extension called XVideo (aka Xvideo, aka Xv, aka xv) which allows video to be directly displayed in drawable objects through a special acceleration. This extension provides very good quality playback even on low-end machines (for example my PIII 400Mhz laptop). Unfortunately, the list of cards in which this feature is supported out of the box is currently: 3DFX Voodoo 3 Intel i810 and i815 some S3 chips (such as Savage/IX and Savage/MX) If your card is not one of these, do not be disappointed yet. XFree86 4.X adds new xv capabilities with each release A popular familiar graphics card with generally very good XFree86 performance, nVidia, has yet to release the specifications on their XVideo support to the XFree86 team. It may be some time before XFree86 fully support XVideo for these cards. . To check whether the extension is running, use xvinfo: &prompt.user; xvinfo XVideo is supported for your card if the result looks like: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: "Savage Streams Engine" number of ports: 1 port base: 43 operations supported: PutImage supported visuals: depth 16, visualID 0x22 depth 16, visualID 0x23 number of attributes: 5 "XV_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 16777215) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 2110) "XV_BRIGHTNESS" (range -128 to 127) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) "XV_CONTRAST" (range 0 to 255) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 128) "XV_SATURATION" (range 0 to 255) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 128) "XV_HUE" (range -180 to 180) client settable attribute client gettable attribute (current value is 0) maximum XvImage size: 1024 x 1024 Number of image formats: 7 id: 0x32595559 (YUY2) guid: 59555932-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x32315659 (YV12) guid: 59563132-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x30323449 (I420) guid: 49343230-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x36315652 (RV16) guid: 52563135-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: RGB (packed) depth: 0 red, green, blue masks: 0x1f, 0x3e0, 0x7c00 id: 0x35315652 (RV15) guid: 52563136-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: RGB (packed) depth: 0 red, green, blue masks: 0x1f, 0x7e0, 0xf800 id: 0x31313259 (Y211) guid: 59323131-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 6 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x0 guid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 bits per pixel: 0 number of planes: 0 type: RGB (packed) depth: 1 red, green, blue masks: 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 Also note that the formats listed (YUV2, YUV12, etc) are not present with every implementation of Xvideo and their absense may hinder some players. If the result looks like: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present Then XVideo is probably not supported for your card. If XVideo is not supported for your card, this only means that it will be more difficult for your display to meet the computational demands of rendering video. Depending on your video card and processor, though, you might still be able to have a satisfying experience. You probably should read about ways of improving performance in the advanced reading . Simple Directmedia Layer The Simple Directmedia Layer, SDL, was intended to be a porting layers between Microsoft Windows, BeOS, and Unix, allowing cross-platform applications to be developed which made efficient use of sound and graphics. The SDL layer provides a low-level abstraction to the hardware which can sometimes be more efficient than the X11 interface. The SDL can be found at devel/sdl12 Direct Graphics Access Direct Graphics Access is an XFree86 extension which allows a program to bypass the X-server and directly alter the framebuffer. Because it relies on a low level memory mapping to effect this sharing, programs using it must must be run as root The DGA extension can be tested and benchmarked by &man.dga.1;. When dga is running, it changes the colors of the display whenever a key is pressed. To quit, use q. Ports and Packages Dealing with Video video ports video packages This section discusses the software available from the FreeBSD Ports Collection which can be used for video playback. Video playback is a very active area of software development, and the capabilities of various applications are bound to diverge somewhat from the descriptions given here. Firstly, it is important to know that most of the video applications which run of FreeBSD were developed as Linux applications, originating in the past year. For this reason, they are both, very experimental and also riddled with Linux-isms which might prevent them from working at full efficiency on FreeBSD. By experimental, I mean that you can expect re-encoders, players, and DVD decrypters to have some major bugs, or interoperability problems with other programs. Here is a short list of the sort of things I mean: An application cannot playback a file which another application produced. An application cannot playback a file which the application itself produced. The same application on two different machines, rebuilt on each machine for that machine, plays back the same file differently A seemingly trivial filter like rescaling of the image size results in very bad artifacts from a buggy rescaling routine. Application always dumping core. Documentation is not installed with the port and can be found either on the web or under PORTPATH/work/ . By Linux-isms, I mean that there are some issues resulting from the way some standard libraries are implemented in the Linux distributions, or some features of the Linux kernel which have been assumed by the authors of the applications, because that is where the authors are primarily developing. These issues may not be noticed and worked around by the port maintainers which can lead to some problems like these: The use of /proc/cpuinfo to detect processor characteristics. A misuse of threads which causes a program to hang upon completion instead of truly terminating. Software not yet in the FreeBSD Ports Collection which is commonly used in conjunction with the application. So far, these application developers have been cooperative with port maintainers to minimize the work-arounds needed for port-ing. MPlayer MPlayer is a recently developed and rapidly developing video player. The goals of the MPlayer team are speed and flexibility on Linux and other Unices. The project was started when the team founder got fed up with bad playback performance on then available players. Some would say that interface has been sacrificed for streamlined design, but once you get used to the command line options and the key-stroke controls, it works very well. Building MPlayer mplayer making MPlayer resides in graphics/mplayer. MPlayer performs a variety of hardware checks during the build process, resulting in a binary which will not be portable from one system to another. Thus it is important to build it from ports and not to use a binary package. Additionally, a number of options can be specified in the make which echo at the start of the build. &prompt.root; cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer &prompt.root; make You can enable additional compilation optimizations by defining WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS You can enable GTK GUI by defining WITH_GUI. You can enable DVD support by defining WITH_DVD. You can enable SVGALIB support by defining WITH_SVGALIB. You can enable VORBIS sound support by defining WITH_VORBIS. You can enable XAnim DLL support by defining WITH_XANIM. If you have x11-toolkits/gtk12 installed, then you might as well enable the GUI. Otherwise, it is not worth the effort. If you intend to play (possibly CSS encoded) DVD's with MPlayer you must enable the DVD support option here Unauthorized DVD playback is a serious criminal act in some countries. Check local laws before enabling this option. . Some reasonable options are: &prompt.root; make WITH_DVD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes As of this writing, the MPlayer port will build its HTML documentation and one executable, mplayer. It can also be made to build an encoder, mencoder, which is a tool for re-encoding video. A modification to the Makefile can enable it. It may be enabled by default in subsequent versions of the port. The HTML documentation to MPlayer is very informative. If the reader finds the information on video hardware and interfaces in the chapter lacking, the MPlayer documentation is a very thorough alternative. You should definitely take the time to read the documentation of MPlayer, if you are looking for information about video support in UNIX. Using mplayer mplayer use Any user of mplayer must set up a .mplayer subdirectory directory of her home directory. To create this necessary subdirectory, you can do the following: &prompt.user; cd /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer &prompt.user; make install-user The command options for mplayer are listed in the manual page. For even more detail there is HTML documentation. In this section, we will give some of the common use cases. To play from file, such as testfile.avi through one of the various video interfaces set the : &prompt.user; mplayer -vo xv testfile.avi &prompt.user; mplayer -vo sdl testfile.avi &prompt.user; mplayer -vo x11 testfile.avi &prompt.root; mplayer -vo dga testfile.avi &prompt.root; mplayer -vo 'sdl:dga' testfile.avi It is worth trying all of these options, as their relative performance depends on many factors and will vary significantly with hardware. To play from a DVD, replace the testfile.avi with where <N> is the title number to play and DEVICE is the device file for the DVD-ROM. For example, to play title 3 from /dev/dvd: &prompt.root; mplayer -vo dga -dvd 2 /dev/dvd To stop, pause, advance and so on, consult the keybindings, which are output by running mplayer -h or read the manual page. Additional important options for playback are: which engages the fullscreen mode and which helps performance. In order for the mplayer command line to not become too large, the user can create a file .mplayer/config and set default options there: vo=xv fs=yes zoom=yes Finally, mplayer can be used to rip a DVD title into a .vob file. To dump out title 2 from a DVD: &prompt.root; mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile out.vob -dvd 2 /dev/dvd The output file, out.vob, will be MPEG and can be manipulated by the other packages described in this section. mencoder mencoder If you opt to install mencoder when you build, be forewarned that it is still quite experimental. To use mencoder it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the options from the HTML documentation. There is a manual page, but it is not very useful without the HTML. There are innummerable ways to improve quality, lower bitrate, and change formats, and some of these tricks may make the difference between good or bad performance. Here are a couple of examples to get you going. First a simple copy: &prompt.user; mencoder input.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.avi It is easy to find examples where the output is unplayable even by mplayer. Thus, if you just want to rip to a file, stick to the in mplayer. To convert input.avi to the MPEG4 codec with MPEG3 audio encoding (audio/lame is required): &prompt.user; mencoder input.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=192 \ -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq -o output.avi This has produced output playable by mplayer and Xine. input.avi can be replaced with and run as root to re-encode a DVD title directly. Since you are likely to be dissatisfied with your results the first time around, it is recommended you dump the title to a file and work on the file. Xine Xine is a project of wide scope aiming not only at being an all in one video solution, but also in producing a reusable base library and a modular executable which can be extended with plugins. It comes both as a package and as a port, graphics/xine. The good news is that the above is pretty much true. Xine is still very rough around the edges, but it is clearly off to a good start. In practice, Xine requires either a fast CPU with a fast video card, or support for the XVideo extension. The GUI is usable, but a bit clumsy. As of this writing, there is no input module shipped with Xine which will play CSS encoded DVD's. There are third party builds which do have modules for this built in them, but none of these are in the FreeBSD Ports Collection. Compared to MPlayer, Xine does more for the user, but at the same time, takes some of the more fine-grained control away from the user. Xine also may perform much worse on the non-XVideo interfaces and has very few good alternatives to it. The Xine FAQ highly recommends that you have a video card which supports it. Xine can be started by itself: &prompt.user; xine The menus can then be used to open a file, or it can be started to play a file immediately without the GUI with the command: &prompt.user; xine -g -p mymovie.avi Transcode Transcode is not a player, but a suite of tools for re-encoding .avi and .mpg files. With Transcode, one has the ability to merge video files, repair broken files, using command line tools with stdin/stdout stream interfaces. Like MPlayer, Transcode is very experimental software which must be build from the port graphics/transcode. Using a great many options to the make command. I recommend: &prompt.root; make WITH_LIBMPEG2=yes If you plan to install graphics/avifile, then add the WITH_AVIFILE option to your make command line, as shown here: &prompt.root; make WITH_AVIFILE=yes WITH_LIBMPEG2=yes Here are two examples of transcode for video conversion which produce rescaled output. The first encodes the output to an openDIVX AVI file, while the second encodes to the much more portable MPEG format. &prompt.user; transcode -i input.vob -x vob -V -Z 320x240 \ -y opendivx -N 0x55 -o output.avi &prompt.user; transcode -i input.vob -x vob -V -Z 320x240 \ -y mpeg -N 0x55 -o output.tmp tcmplex -o output.mpg -i output.tmp.m1v -p output.tmp.mpa -m 1 There is a manual page for transcode, but for the various tc* utilities which are also installed, there is only a curt output. In comparison, transcode runs significantly slower than mencoder, but it has a better chance of producing a more widely playable file. I can play transcode MPEGs on older copies of Windows Media Player and Apple's Quicktime, for example. Further Reading I have no doubt that within a year, much that is in this chapter will be out of date. Video will probably be much less problematic to get working well and a port will be in the collection which turns a FreeBSD system into a DVD-playing, PVR, and virtual A/V studio. Until that day arrives, those who want to get the very most out of FreeBSD's A/V capabilities will have to cobble together knowledge from several FAQs and tutorials and use a few different applications. This section exists to give the reader some links to learn more in case this chapter was just helpful enough. The MPlayer documentation is very technically informative. These documents should probably be consulted by anyone wishing to obtain a high level of expertise with Unix video. The MPlayer mailing list is hostile to anyone who has not bothered to read the documentation, so if you plan on making bug reports to them, RTFM. The Xine HOWTO contains a chapter on performance improvement which is general to all players. Finally, there are some other promising applications which the reader may try: AVIFile which is also a port graphics/avifile. Ogle which is also a port graphics/ogle.

As far as I know, and my research goes, this change should only be applied to CURRENT, but NOT to be MFC'ed. This is because, if you: o look into the dumpon source code, you will see that this change, coined as "New dumping infrastructure" was implemented in revision 1.14, BRANCH: MAIN by the great phk. o The RELENG_4, and RELENG_4_5, AND RELENG_4_6 are still using the sysctl(3) infrastructure; because as far as my knowledge goes, the new DUMPING ioctl's are only available in -current thus made use by -current only. I hope this helps to clear my point.

Is there supposed to be a "more" at the location I marked with *? and a "than" at the second *? 6 Future Directions It is imperative for our release engineering activities to scale with our growing userbase. Along these lines we are working very hard to document the procedures involved in producing FreeBSD releases. Parallelism - Certain portions of the release build are actually ``embarrassingly parallel''. Most of the tasks are very I/O intensive, so multiple high-speed disk drives is actually * important that*(than)? multiple processors in speeding up the ``make release'' process. Thanks for such a great product.
