OK so far ive noticed thing that seem broken, I realize that the new cam is not in 2.2.7 by default, so i asked how to get my adaptec 2980 controller working, so then i was told to use the cam patches.... i tried this it failed miserably, not even letting me compile a kernel.... then browsing the cam directories i find a release for 2.2CAM ... so i get the boot disk, and boot off it, hey this works, installed FreeBSD on a 9.1 gig scsi, rebooted clean, rebuilt the kernel with no problem to add bpfilters for dhcp, so far so good, went to configure X.... Ummm WHERES XFree86 in the cam release it seems to be missing, and /stand/sysinstall refuses to let me install the 2.2.7-RELEASE of just the X package.... so now im tied, hands crossed and slightly dis-illusioned at FreeBSD.... Hrmmm sum this up.... 2.2.7-RELEASE no Adaptec capabilities apply patches, Ummm this bombed big time try to install the 2.2CAM release hey that worked....... but NO X this seems very futile and very broken to me..... is there a real logical solution to the SCSI problem under 2.2.7 with X capabilities.......... ???? basically if i can somehow install X on the SCSI build id be 100% happy and satisfied, not that i ever want to fight with a unix distribution like this for three days again...!!! After all i hate to mention the other OS with the letter L* in it, but it does support my controller, and X at the same time, no this isnt a rip, more of a plea to help complete my workstation build. I dont want to go back, to the other side.... i want to stay with freebsd, but it has to run X and support my scsi controller.... Any and ALL help will be much appreciated..... Thanks, in advance Dazed, Tired, X-Bewildered & SCSI-Confused PS.... can someone FIX THIS, cause I know alot of us are using the newer adaptec series controllers, if nothing else at least add XFree86 to the CAM distributions......
