OK, I'm going to take personal offense at everything that just took place
here. Maybe the guy asked because he was curious...which is just fine

> If so, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with me.
Well, let's see. I think you've then read my description of what
was happening. Are you seeing the same thing?
What I've done since then is install the "new" release of both the
OS and the XFree86. So, now it's:
FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Thu Nov 16 10:47:14 1995
XFree86 3.1.2, I believe
In my X86Config, I've set:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Number 9 GXE64 Pro 2M"
VendorName "Number 9"
BoardName "GXE64 Pro"
# Chipset "Vision964"
VideoRam 2048
ClockChip "Ti3025"
# DacSpeed 135 # Book value
DacSpeed 220 # Cheat a little
Option "Number_nine"
Option "power_saver"
EndSection
Careful. Note that I am lying here about my DAC speeds.
I've got a Viewsonic 21 monitor.
I've "xset" the timeout to 600, and "prefer blanking" in my .xinitrc:
xset s 600 &
xset s blank &
I've also set the kernel to start the "green" screensaver
in /etc/sysconfig:
# Set blank time (in seconds) or "off" to turn it off (or NO for default)
blanktime="600"
# Set to screen saver desired: blank, green, snake, star (or NO for none)
saver="green"
I'm pretty sure that it is the *kernel*'s screen saver that is really
kicking in and being effective here when NOT using X. I believe this
part has always been working for me.
When X is running (most of the time), I'm really not sure how it
is happening. I'd like to believe that it is the "power_saver" option.
I *think* this was one of the things that was a known bug in XF86 3.1.1
that was supposed to have been fixed in 3.1.2.
Now, for some reason, it works, and I don't think I've really changed
all that much. One thing that I know is different "now" than when
I tried it before, is that I first had the kernel "blank", and then
later switched to "green". If you've changed yours too, you may be
seeing the same thing I did.
So, when I reinstalled 2.1.0 and 3.1.2, things got better, apparently....
If you've got both the OS and the X releases up to date, then I'm
not really sure what the problem could be. Linger bad stuff? Old LKM
module? Vague. Sorry.

I`m picking up this thread with great interest as isdn is going to be
available realsoon here. I have a very stable environment running v2.0 with
ppp and a 28.8 modem, but, like most, i'm interested in more bandwidth.
Is there anyone who has an isdn card working with freebsd now and could we
make up a summary post of what is currently working and available? I'm
interested in what hardware works what software was used.

Dear FreeBSD
I am new to the BSD and to UNIX and am having problems with installing
BSD 4.4!
1) It keeps telling me it can't find the root file (even though I've included
the
floppies directory). I'm installing from a DOS partition.
2) I am installing it on a 1GIG drive. Is it possible that BSD leaves my
DOS
partition intact while it is intalling. (Everytime it fails, I have to go
back and
reformat my drive).
Thank you

The US Robotics ISDN card support ODI and NDIS (but not ODI CAPI
or NDIS CAPI - I doubt it very much these things exist).
. It looks like to me that they are trying to emulate
an Ethernet card. Where can I locate any info about using
NDIS/ODI with FreeBSD ? If FreeBSD can work with NDIS/ODI,
it should work with Packet Driver (PD) with ease.
As I mentioned before the so called ISDN modem use the AT command
sets e.g. Motorola BitSurfer. It emulates a "COM" port.
This is also a workable solution.
Best regards.

What are you trying to compile here? You're obviously using 2.0.5; make
in 2.0.5 is sensitive to lines containing whitespace (tabs or spaces)
without anything else on them.

Your caution is well-placed. FreeBSD is almost certainly not compatible
with this "Drive Overlay" product. Unfortunately, none of the FreeBSD
developers has access to a machine using it, so compatability is not
likely to be added in the near future.
Installing FreeBSD will most likely result in an unbootable BSD partition
(best case) or totally destroy your DOS partition(s) (worst case).
Sorry.

Hiya all:-)
I run FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE. I just did a sup yesterday and proceded to do
a "make world" in /usr/src. Than I shutdown. Now I get an error
message: ld.so failed when I run telnet or if someone telnet's in. I
have an ld.so in /usr/libexec and one in /lib/. I rm'd the ld.so from
/lib/ because on most systems it is only located in the /usr/libexec/ as
I have as well. At any rate I am not really professed in these things
and only did what I was advised to do (the "make world"). I believe the
initial reason I did this was because I kept getting an error compiling
the software "socks" version 5. Would someone please help me with this?
And if you could do it via email as I am monitoring the email more than
the list at the moment:-) Thanks to all who can help!

You have a busmastering SCSI controller; it's possible that your motherboard
or CPU doesn't work properly with it. Try turning off all caching in your
BIOS (CPU internal cache and motherboard cache) and see if you get the
same crash. Your install procedure looks fine.
