I have successfully installed FreeBSD-9.0-BETA2 to an amd64 bit machine, I have used the ports to install xfce and xorg. When I type startx, I get a screen with a bunch of colors no mouse, no keyboard, just colors. The machine has nvidia onboard graphics. I am trying to get kernel sources installed via sysinstall to install nvidia-driver but I can't get anywhere from any ftp site I select at random. I have updated to latest sources available on the ports and it comes up the same. I have to use the nv driver, should I try the nouveau driver? What should I do? I want to help in testing and have no way to report bugs as without X there's not much one can do :( Thanks for advice/suggestions/comments. I am successfully running FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 on three machines two at home and one at work in case it is important/relevant in the thread. Regards, Antonio There is no X, I try to get information about the onboard video and I get VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430]" I tried installing nouveau but it did not do any difference, screen is garbled no X. The BSD install setup was too fast and I did not select sources for kernel and now I can't install nvidia driver to see if I could get X working :( Again, I appreciate any input given to see how I can help in testing.

Re: machdep.hyperthreading_allowed does not affect SMT cores

I'll admit that I don't at all understand the distinction between the two -- I thought that HTT was just Intel's name for SMT. In any case, is there any reason that machdep.hyperthreading_allowed should not apply to SMT cores, too? ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" No, HTT is a half core. It will speed up a system round about 20%, but only when it can work with HTT. HTT is the idea to work on the last thing while new data will transfer from ram to cpu cache. Else the cpu wlll idle and doing nothing. Problem is to use htt on a heavy loaded system. Since Win7 Microsoft use it on a good way. Bevor this, they make a mistake to use it as a normale core. Under Vista cpu 0 is under heavy load they put it to cpu 1, but this was only a htt core. On a dualcore core 2 must use, bevor core 1 (htt) is used. This it is, what MS change. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
