Subject: Console size

I'm sure it's possible, but exactly which knobs do I have to turn, and which
settings do I have to tweak, to get my console to be bigger than the standard
80x25?

I've looking in LINT, and there are some VGA_* options that look possible, but
I can't find any documentation on the correct procedure.

Thanks,
Phil.

The vidcontrol(1) manpage contains useful information on this. It is
mainly a run-time configuration issue, rather than compile-time.

And his GENERIC differs from the GENERIC I have.

The scbus IS defined in GENERIC. I'm suspecting that the
person who posted this originally modified GENERIC but did not say
so. I always make sure my GENERIC is always untouched because
I've never had a problem compiling an untouched GENERIC.

I don't need to say this, you can see such things in "ident" in
kernel.

Hi Phil,

Just add a font or two and set allscreens_flags in /etc/rc.conf.
Don't forget /etc/defaults/rc.conf has the default options, its
good to be familar with them. Below is what I use.

font8x8="swiss-8x8"
font8x14="NO"
font8x16="swiss-8x16"
keyrate="fast"
allscreens_flags="80x50" # Set this vidcontrol mode for all virtual screens

If you're planning on spending the effort on this, teaching config to
properly understand dependencies would win you more brownie-points.

Remove the bogus usr.sbin/ppp/ppp directory, as hinted by the error message.

Recompile your kernel with VESA and SC_PIXEL_MODE, then run this on
startup:

echo -n '[Setting up VTs] '
for ii in /dev/ttyv*
do
/usr/sbin/vidcontrol < $ii -g 100x37 VESA_800x600
#/usr/sbin/vidcontrol green black > $ii 2>&1
done

The second line allows you to change the default colours (I tried
black text on white like a Sun but it's a bit flickery).

Hello List and Kris,
I did that and that fixed that problem, and a few
other similar problems in usr.sbin (it happened in two
other subdirectories.) Thank you for that idea! Very
likely I will end up needing that again some time in
the future.

Now its stopping in usr.bin/binutils/ld. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. I am running FreeBSD
Stable 4.7 #5 (11/17/2002). TIA!

Subject: Support for Compaq/HP DL380 G3

I have successfully got SMP with HTT working on a Compaq/HP DL380 G3 with
FreeBSD 4-STABLE (as at 5/2/2003).

Within BIOS, it is necessary to change the "MPS Table Mode" to "Full Table
APIC" or "Full Table Mapped". Note, unlike "Auto", these two options
apparently ignore the Operating System option (which I have set to "Other
OS").

One thing I have noticed is that it does not seem to matter whether
"Processing Hyper-Threading" is set to enabled or disabled - in either case
HTT is a feature that FreeBSD sees.

Regards,

Peter

Just set the operating system to Linux and you dont have to worry about
changing the other settings.

Be aware, the ethernet device may not always come up with a miibus.
I still need to MFC the following patch to make it work reliably.

You can also set the OS for Windows 2000. That makes the "Auto"
setting for MPS Table Mode to be Full Table (not Mapped), which
may be a little more efficient w.r.t. interrupt distribution.

We already have such a tool, it's called 'make'. The compiler has
provided a meaningful message. I'm astonished at how upset some people
get at compiler "error" messages, I see them hundreds of times every day.

Rather than give people another crutch to keep them from learning the
system (aka the Linux X11 configuration tool) we should invest our time in
teaching people to read the compiler messages and make learned
corrections.

This lesson is so old it's found in ancient apocryphal documents. You
know, the 'teach a man to fish vs. give a man a fish' lesson? ;^)

The fact that you're getting these in the first place indicates some
kind of corruption of your source tree and/or filesystem. You may
need to remove it and check it out again.

FWIW, when I was approaching a similar problem a few years ago (big fs
with lots of little files), I was told that a good way to get maximum disk
utilization and performance was to figure the size that roughly 75-80% of
your files would fit into, and make this the fragment size. Multiply this
by 8 to get the block size, and newfs to your heart's content. This
formula has worked really well for me, and drastically improved the
performance of the systems in question.

My rough understanding of why this works is that when reading a block, you
want to pick up as many files as you can in one pass. For files larger
than your fragment size, the amount of space "wasted" by non-full
fragments will have a minimal impact on your disk utilization because most
of your files will be within a fragment already.

Make sure to heed the warnings in the man page for the -b and -f options.

HTH,

Doug

Subject: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear

I have a D-Link DWL-520 in a box running -STABLE that's acting as a
router. I recently switched to using it in hostap mode instead of
ad-hoc. After large amounts of traffic (such as copying a large file) on
the wireless interface, it stops responding. Traffic on the other two
(wired) interfaces continues as normal. The only way I've been able to get
things working again is a reboot. The following error appears in messages:

wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear

Is this a known problem with the DWL-520? Anyone else seen the same thing?

I can provide more info if needed.

Any help would be much appreciated.
