Problems I am having: 1. The built in em0 nic is not working at all. It shows up in ifconfig but I get nothing when I plug in a patchcord not even a link light. 2. The sound card is not working even though cat /dev/sndstat show it. 3. Somehow it is running out of swapspace. I don't know how. 4. Some strange arplookup is searching for something and I don't know why. I am going to place all the relevant information I can here so it helps. Please let me know if you need more.

I did set it anyway :) I need to think before typing. I was at a conference at the time and plead lack of sleep. What I SHOULD have said was to add cpufreq_load="YES" to your /boot/loader.conf. The line I sent would have disabled EST if it had been there, but it was not because of the lack of the cpufreq module. > > Even though I have these on my T43, Windoows still stretches battery > > quite a bit.

That's a good one, if i find the time i will look in to it. I have written a simple fancontrol script, which only looks at cpu-temp, but i will not complete it. My first tests show me that the time that the fan can stopped completly is short, so the benefit is very small at this moment. -- Regards, Richard.

Recently, I found out about a new work-in-progress wpi driver (a driver for the Intel 3945abg wireles) at http://people.freebsd.org/~flz/local/wpi/ Naturally, I had to test it. I found out that it works well on my machine, with the same caveat as the wired (bge) driver: it only works when acpi is disabled. Apparently, this has something to do with the BIOs ACPI / ASL code in this laptop, which is not up to standards (both NetBSD and OpenBSD is able to use the network cards on this laptop, but that's just another datapoint). More info, as well as normal and verbose dmesg's, both with aci enabled and with acpui disabled are on the web page http://tingox.googlepages.com/aceraspireas5672andfreebsd under the 2006-1121 entry. Now all i need to do is to make the drivers work on this laptop with acpi enabled. I'm already using the newest BIOS uypdate from Acer. If anybody have suggestions, patches or other things I can try, I'm game -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Nov 22 18:33:23 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E1F8316A4A0 for ; Wed, 22 Nov 2006 18:33:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from almarrie@gmail.com) Received: from hu-out-0506.google.com (hu-out-0506.google.com [72.14.214.233]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 099CE43D58 for ; Wed, 22 Nov 2006 18:32:51 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from almarrie@gmail.com) Received: by hu-out-0506.google.com with SMTP id 38so1614740huc for ; Wed, 22 Nov 2006 10:33:20 -0800 (PST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:to:subject:mime-version:content-type; b=f72+1lAihiprrFHAbbb8CXGqxkY5mPFYAQVoLM3iiauvEyHtBr4jSO1j2ofMX+5JjNQv30TxZmMuvx/w5/1yBjrmiUZuhH/F00oimcARVX5eCR3o+82gePznI0JAH1HyXdfmcnqvGiUeRq06NLs8l0h59OvMskagJTh8W1RludM= Received: by 10.66.242.20 with SMTP id p20mr3740936ugh.1164220400323; Wed, 22 Nov 2006 10:33:20 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.66.255.10 with HTTP; Wed, 22 Nov 2006 10:33:20 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <499c70c0611221033x130714d9nec3a1f22f582eed9@mail.gmail.com> Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2006 21:33:20 +0300 From: "John Smith" To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Subject: FreeBSD 6.1 CD1 wont boot on Acer Aspire 5100 WLMi X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2006 18:33:23 -0000 Hello, I have just got my Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi laptop which has AMD Turion 64x x2 with 1.5 GB of ram, and tried the 6.1 ISO image to boot, it stops and wont boot after loading acpi kernel module, I tried to boot with acpi disabled in the boot menu, but no use, it just hangs and nothing happens.

Not that I new of. One thing you can try is to use FN+F7 from console first, that should work. If it does, to get the external monitor woirking with X too, you need to adjust your resolution to match that of your external monitor (one choice for TFT/LCD, several for CRT). I don't know how to do this from within KDE, I usually do it directly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If FN+F4 on console doesn't work, your problem is not related to X.

This is a definite improvement, as 6.2-RELEASE-beta3 wasn't able to even boot the machine. Many thanks to the FreeBSD developers for their hard work! Unfortunately, after the installation menu appears, the keyboard acts very strangely. I am able to go past the first screen if I press enter twice, and then the system responds no more to keystrokes, except to emit a console beep that never seems to end. I did break into the debugger as soon as the kernel had finished booting and the installer CD was being mounted, and the keyboard seems to respond fine. I was able to show irqs, and got output which seemed correct. I will admit now that I have used FreeBSD for only about a month now...but I come from many years of Linux use, and I would consider myself to be an expert. With a few suggestions, maybe I can figure a way around this.

Could you please list your wireless chip and if FreeBSD 7.0-c supported it? so for your video card. I need to know what is supported in 7.0 for my next laptop purchase. Thank you, -J
