It sounds like the tulip messages one sees on every OS on alphas, I wouldn't worry about it unless your performance is somehow degraded. > pci0: <3D Labs model 0009 graphics accelerator> at 6.0 irq 0 > Observations: there is no VGA16 server (upon which XF86Setup depends) > for XFree86.

I'd suggest building XF84 4.0.1 from ports, its a bit more reliable (for me anyway) than the 3.x servers. > If the mouse is defined and enabled in /etc/rc.conf ('psm0' as > sysinstall can do for you). xf86config (XFree86 3.3.6) trips over a > "busy" mouse, and exits back to the command line. > > Not all Logitech PS/2-type mice (mouses?) are equal.

I assume you installed it from ports and thus have a /compat/osf1/etc/svc.conf? Does your /etc/resolve.conf have a blank search directive? Eg: search nameserver w.x.y.z If so, try deleting the search line in /etc/resolv.conf or give it a domain name list to search. Be very carful of excess whitespace. I don't think the OSF/1 resolver library is a featureful as ours. Cheers, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
