You can get support by cvsuping to 4.5-PRERELEASE (which is the name on RELENG_4 at the moment) to get it today or wait for 4.5-RELEASE in late January. Are you familiar with updating with cvsup? It's fairly trivial, although it does require 2 reboots and about 30 minutes in single-user mode to install the new binaries. R.

I have read that the newer (802.11b) Proxim cards can fall back to the old Symphony Cordless protocol (I guess so people can use their business Proxim cards with the cheaper and slower hardware at home.) Does FreeBSD have any drivers that do this? If so, can these drivers be used for the old cards in any way? I looked around and didn't find any info on these cards for FreeBSD, but I didn't know if they were covered by a different driver, like the wi working for many different vendor's wireless cards. I really don't know where to look though. I searched on FreeBSD.org and yahoo/google but found nothing promising except linux drivers. I use FreeBSD and OpenBSD (and unfortunatley a little ms-crap) for everything else in my home, but I have to use linux for this because of driver availability. (and my lack of driver programming abilities) I saw that there was work on a RangeLan driver (with Symphony cordless support?) for OpenBSD but work on it stopped because of an NDA that needed to be signed to get specs. I have written to Proxim, but I doubt I'll even get a response, let alone actual FreeBSD support or drivers. Maybe there's no interest left, but at 1.6mb speed and $39 at Staples, they keep up just fine for my laptop to access my DSL. Right now I have a linux box routing my laptop. My laptop uses win98SE (need it to dial into work) on one drive and Mandrake Linux on another drive. I went with Mandrake because it is "easy" for new users... I started with FreeBSD and am fairly comfortable with OpenBSD, but Linux is too mish-mashed for me to grasp as easily. Oh, well.

I had a very similar experience with my VAIO PCG-GR250P. My solution was to boot with 4.3-RELEASE, which loaded without problems. However, I was then unable to cvsup to 4-STABLE since the NIC in my VAIO, an Intel Pro 100/VE, wasn't supported until 4.4-RELEASE. The solution was for me was to borrow a cheap SMC 16-bit PCMCIA card which was recognized under 4.3. This allowed me to CVSUP to 4-STABLE and the machine boots okay now. Convulutged, I know, but that's how *I* got it to work. YMMV.

I can build multiple ports at once, but make buildworld seems to trigger it. Itseems to be more common with apm or apmd, but today I have neither, with a nice fresh install, and it's been happening.

Here is the lowdown. The exact model of laptop: PCG-FX210 What happens is: I run xf86config and write to file. I try and startx after checking the file and the entire screen blanks (black) out. Everything hangs at that point, and will sit there till I manually power off. I had first tried the default X install from sysinstall (I believe it is 3.3.6?) which ended up the same way as this. I then installed from source, XF86 4.1, which is currently what I am trying to configure. I would happily try something different... in order to get this working. I also tried to bring over my config file from the linux side, and just change the font paths (different on the linux side). Same end result (black screen).

Check what the Linux folks are saying about that machine; you may need to patch the server. Just to clarify, since you're not being very explicit about the situation, does the system freeze when you run 'X -configure', or when you try to start X afterwards? If the latter, try 'X -probeonly' and look for anything odd in the output.

I have a laptop (P120 Kapok 6200) which I am trying to install 4.4-RELEASE onto without success. Windows is happy with the laptop. Below is the (hand-typed) boot messages from the 4.4-RELEASE install floppy, 5-CURRENT gives very similar output. The problem seems to be that FreeBSD is unble to allocate interrupts and/or IO space for much of the hardware, and so the hard drive and CD rom drive aren't recognised, amongst others. I have upgraded the BIOS which did not help, but gave me two more options, "Windows 98 compatibility mode" and "OS/2 compatibility mode". No combination of these (including neither and both) make any difference at all to the messages and result. A boot -v gives no indication at all of the problem. Where do I go from here? Thanks, Gavin (boot messages from 4.4-RELEASE install boot disk.
