Hello All,
I recently installed FreeBSD 8.0 on my amd64 system attached to an APC
UPS via USB and a RealTek HDA onboard soundcard. I chose 'logo' as the
screensaver during installation, and put snd_hda_load="YES" in
/boot/loader.conf and upsd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
On booting, the sound driver gets loaded successfully and the APC UPS is
also detected (although there is no mention of the UPS in the output of
dmesg). I have the following problems :
1) There is no sound. AFAIK, there is a sysctl parameter to be tuned for
setting the correct audio channel (in my case hdac1), but I have
forgotten the parameter name. Can someone please remind me ?
2) upsd complains of inappropriate ioctl no matter which USB device node
I set in /usr/local/etc/upsd.conf. How can I set the device name
correctly so that the OS can shut itself down properly on extended power
failure ?
3) For my console saver ('logo'), I get the following error message at
boot-time :
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (logo_saver, 0xffffffff81044010, 0) error 19
Happy New Year and Thanks for any help
