It happened that keyboard input for the geom_eli passphrase input is very unreliable when it is prompted from the kernel at boot time to capture the passphrase for the root filesystem: not every keystroke is recognized, and since there are no echo backs, it is very hard, if possible at all, to type it correctly. For such an emergency, kern.geom.eli.visible_passphrase=1 surely helps by echoing back the keys actually recognized, but it leaves the plaintext passphrase in the log file. I've been running a patched version of libkern/gets.c to echo back *'s instead of the actual input. It worked well for me on my old CASIO Casiopeia FIVA, and I just thought it was some BIOS or timing issue on an old note book. Now, it turns out that a newer Thinkpad X60 also suffers from this issue, and I wondered how other people are going along. If this is something more universal, I'd appreciate if you could commit this workaround patch and MFC. The patch also prevents to log the number of characters in your passphrase. Thanks.

I am new to FreeBSD so please be gentle on me, especially if this is a FAQ. I am running DesktopBSD 1.6.1 live DVD on my sony vaio VGN SZ483NC laptop. I notice that the acpi_ibm module is very feature rich while the acpi_sony module almost feels like a stub. I know that under Linux there has been extensive work to reverse engineer the Fn keys on sony Vaio laptops. See http://tjworld.net/snc/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=465491 I am wondering if something similar to that is already available or in the works for FreeBSD as well? vishy ps: Please cc me on the replies since I am not subscribed to the list. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Every now and then, I'll think about redoing it completely and adapting it more to the current situation, where profile changes don't just happen at boot and resume, but much more dynamically.

To do this permanently=20 ``echo legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=3D1 >>/boot/loader.conf''=20 or to do it temporarily do ``kenv legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=3D1'' If it doesn't load, check /var/log/messages for why.

Is that the "ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe > US/EMEA/LA/ANZ " > or the "Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN" Someone told me wpi is the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and that the driver is coming along nicely, but is "experimental". If I could, I'd use the mini-PCI ath card from my T41, but that's not an option. The x61s uses mini-PCIe. The wifi options for the x61are listed below. With each option I've listed what I've found regarding support for that hardware. 1- ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ no idea about this or if it's supported 2- Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [add $10.50 $3.90] in 7.x and 8.x and is experimental 3- Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (supporting Centrino Pro) not supported but under development: http://www.clearchain.com/ wiki/Wpi So it seems option 2 is my only option. Are you having any issues with the wifi? -- Dan Langille -- http://www.langille.org/ dan@langille.org From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Mar 8 01:15:02 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DC6AA106566C for ;

Andrew: FWIW, I had an Intel wifi nic in my T41. I upgraded it to something similar to the above (details not available to hand) but it was also ath. It worked flawlessly. Thank you.

There have been a fair few problems with various Latitudes in this respect, going on posts to freebsd-acpi over the last couple of years (which is where I would suggest pursuing this issue in more detail), ie by showing your 'sysctl hw.acpi' and dmesg and such .. you may be asked to make asl disassembly available (acpidump(8)) to hunt problems, see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html For starters you might try # sysctl hw.syscons.sc_no_suspend_vtswitch=1 with both # sysctl hw.acpi.reset_video=1 and # sysctl hw.acpi.reset_video=0 Sadly, htdig searching of the list archives is mostly broken, but the very first search done from an archive index page such as: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/ should give something, eg from there I got some hits for 'Latitude D8' eg this one trying with the above sysctls on a D810: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-acpi/2006-February/002509.html but you may have to browse quite a few months by thread to hunt deeper, and it may be easier to start a fresh thread. > CPU SPEED > > While exploring Suspend I came across the sysctls for CPU speed stuff. > Among them was one for CPU temperature, which read 44.5C. Is there a Gnome > panel gizmo for this? I'm picturing a volcano. gkrellm (/usr/ports/sysutils/gkrellm) works well for me, setup to display temp and MHz with cpu load (and much more) on my Thinkpad T23. > I discovered that the Gnome panel gizmo "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" > does allow me the throttle my CPU up and down -- very cool -- but I want > this to be automatic in response to both CPU temperature and process load. That's what powerd(8) is for. Try it out in foreground as 'powerd -v' in a terminal window.

ACPI's easy once you know how; I'm up with it maybe 30% after 2 years :) Cheers, Ian From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Mar 8 09:47:50 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 112261065670 for ; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 09:47:50 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gb@isis.u-strasbg.fr) Received: from mailhost.u-strasbg.fr (mailhost.u-strasbg.fr [IPv6:2001:660:2402::157]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 806C08FC19 for ; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 09:47:49 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gb@isis.u-strasbg.fr) Received: from 6nq.u-strasbg.fr (mojito.u-strasbg.fr [IPv6:2001:660:4701:1002::3]) by mailhost.u-strasbg.fr (8.13.8/jtpda-5.5pre1) with ESMTP id m289llxl048886 for ; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 10:47:47 +0100 (CET) Received: by 6nq.u-strasbg.fr (Postfix, from userid 1001) id ABE8B12532; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 10:47:12 +0100 (CET) Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 10:47:12 +0100 From: Guy Brand To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20080308094712.GC1456@isis.u-strasbg.fr> References: <47CD41F3.2000203@langille.org> <20080307233340.GB1456@isis.u-strasbg.fr> <0EE032CC-4A3E-45D7-9337-62A44FDAC63B@langille.org> <47CD41F3.2000203@langille.org> <20080307233340.GB1456@isis.u-strasbg.fr> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <0EE032CC-4A3E-45D7-9337-62A44FDAC63B@langille.org> x-gpg-fingerprint: B423 4924 012E 52F3 BA9E 547F CC8C 0BC5 9C0E B1CA x-gpg-key: 9C0EB1CA X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-3.0 (mailhost.u-strasbg.fr [IPv6:2001:660:2402::157]); Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:47:48 +0100 (CET) X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.88.7/6166/Fri Mar 7 17:36:07 2008 on mr7.u-strasbg.fr X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.1 required=5.0 tests=AWL,NO_RELAYS autolearn=disabled version=3.1.8 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.8 (2007-02-13) on mr7.u-strasbg.fr Subject: Re: ThinkPad x61s 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: Sat, 08 Mar 2008 09:47:50 -0000 Dan Langille (dan@langille.org) on 07/03/2008 at 18:52 wrote: > Had you run 7.0 on this?

There were some when the driver was made available in CURRENT, I have no severe issue at this time. wpi is quite stable except that after a while when running in autoselect speed mode, the speed of the link drops slowly to 0. Forcing manually the speed fixes that. I haven't read other people complaining about that, so I live with it (I'm not a big wireless fan). -- bug From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Mar 8 13:14:46 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 24399106566C for ; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 13:14:46 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from david@catwhisker.org) Received: from bunrab.catwhisker.org (adsl-63-193-123-122.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net [63.193.123.122]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E69B38FC13 for ; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 13:14:45 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from david@catwhisker.org) Received: from bunrab.catwhisker.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by bunrab.catwhisker.org (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id m28Cuc2E081623; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 04:56:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from david@bunrab.catwhisker.org) Received: (from david@localhost) by bunrab.catwhisker.org (8.13.3/8.13.1/Submit) id m28Cub0C081620; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 04:56:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from david) Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 04:56:37 -0800 From: David Wolfskill To: Ian Smith Message-ID: <20080308125637.GQ53010@bunrab.catwhisker.org> Mail-Followup-To: David Wolfskill , Ian Smith , knowtree@aloha.com, freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org References: <200803080036.m280aKOc023129@yoda.pixi.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="aX6oBa4COn3eIhlv" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Cc: knowtree@aloha.com, freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ACPI et al on Dell Latiture D830 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: Sat, 08 Mar 2008 13:14:46 -0000 --aX6oBa4COn3eIhlv Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Sat, Mar 08, 2008 at 04:55:44PM +1100, Ian Smith wrote: > ... > Sadly, htdig searching of the list archives is mostly broken, but the > very first search done from an archive index page such as: >... Sorry for the off-topic message, but the fact that the Mailman/pipermail/htdig archive "search" function is "mostly broken" is why the "search" link on the page at brings one to , which does not use those archives, but uses the same WAIS engine that has been working for years.

Quite so David, thanks for the reminder. Very glad it's all there. However, while that search produces single message results back to year dot, the inability to locate and follow threads there I've found less useful generally for queries like todays' "suspend AND dell" and such. More to topic, OP might try 'Experience with Dell Latitude D620?' thread from http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2006-October/ I hadn't realised these were a Core{,2} Duos .. is ACPI suspend/resume working on any SMP machines yet? Thought I'd read recently, not .. cheers, Ian
