The following are for 5.1-release only. I know they have changed for 5.2-rc2 and I will update my website http://my.fit.edu/~rresnick/ when I get 5.2 installed. The following items get the computer running, smoothly except that X crashes when you restart the X Server and corrupts the display. The only solution I found is to restart the machine. To get sound to work you need to run the following every time the machine starts up. pciconf -w -b pci0:31:0 0x61 9=20 You need to insert the following in /boot/loader.conf=20 # Sound Stuff=20 snd_pcm_load=3D"YES"=20 snd_driver_load=3D"YES"=20 # PCMCIA Stuff=20 hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=3D"1"=20 #DVD Stuff=20 hw.ata.atapi_dma=3D"1"=20 hw.ata.ata_dma=3D"1"=20 You need to insert the following in /etc/sysctr.conf=20 #For DVD and KDE Sound=20 kern.ipc.shmmax=3D67108864=20 kern.ipc.shmall=3D32768=20 hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=3D4=20 hw.snd.maxautovchans=3D4 Rhian Resnick Manager of Information Technology, Evans Library=20 Florida Institute of Technology
