gdm, dbus or xscreensaver...?

I've had a serious problem this past week. I did an update last week, 
and after rebooting, I noticed an odd bar of scrambled graphics at the 
top of the screen in gdm/gnome. When I moved the mouse the bar would 
change, my keyboard would lock, etc. I ended up removing everything, and 
reinstalling clean.

For the past 3 nights everything has been fine. Until I updated my ports 
today.

 From console I watched the system upgrade GDM, DBUS and XSCREENSAVER. I 
shutdown, restarted my machine, and as soon as the gdm login screen 
appears I see this scrambled bar of color at the top of the screen. It 
looks like the mouse is somehow causing data to write directly to the 
display. I can still see my mouse pointer, and everything seems to be 
fine (keyboard works), but this bar of about 20-50 pixels full of random 
colors wont go away. The minute I move the mouse those lines are filled 
with colors.

I tried disabling dbus. This didn't help. I removed, and reinstalled 
gdm, nothing. I removed and reinstalled xscreensaver, still nothing. I 
know those were the only threee ports upgraded. Does anyone know what's 
going on?

Re: 6.0 STABLE install locks up within a few minutes

What SATA controller is it?  I know in particular the SiL3112 Silcon
Image chipset is buggy hardware.  If it's only an add-in card, you could
try another one.  I have a cheap Highpoint RocketRAID 1520.  It works
fine as a SATA controller, but the raid on it is fake-raid.  There is
little to no hardware support on it and it would be better to use
FreeBSD's built-in software raid if you need it.

By the way, the SiL3112 had problems on both linux and bsd, but it
worked most of the time.  I think the windows drivers they provide have
a work-around in them for the buggy hardware, but would you really want
buggy hardware?

It would help if you could say what you tried and what happened.

setfacl file modification time

In 5.2.1-RELEASE, setfacl updates the modification time of the file
when acls are changed.  I haven't been able to find any complaints
about this behavior, is this something folks on the list would expect
when using setfacl?  If so, does anyone know a work around?

Thanks
Ahnjoan

Unable to boot to internal or serial console

I read through serial communication section in the FreeBSD handbook this
morning. I was able to configure the serial on one of my machines through
the following steps:
1. Edit /etc/ttys
a. ttyd0 "ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on insecure
2. Edit /boot/loader.rc
b. In the very first line add set console="comconsole"

After doing this on the second machine and rebooting, I am not able to get
to the serial console, video console, or SSH.  There are not errors on the
screen, just a blinking curser after "FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader,
Revision 1.1"

How can I get back into the system?

I'm not questioning his personal reasons to use tinyDNS, if he
wants to use it for himself, then fine.  But, it seems to me that the
responsibility of converting the data files to TinyDNS format belongs
to the person who wants to use TinyDNS.

If positions were reversed and the nameserver was already running
TinyDNS, and you came along and wanted to run BIND, then I
would say it would be your responsibility to convert it to BIND.

As a general rule in system administration, when someone
wants to change an existing system that is working to a new

pkg or version conflict problems

I'm afraid that through my moronic attempts over the last few months I 
have gotten my 5.1 system into bad shape.  While trying to clean it up 
and make some sense out of it I've been trying to build mysql.  I'm 
getting this error message and no matter what I try I cannot get past 
it.

root <at> mysys:/usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server# make WITH_OPENSSL=yes
===>  mysql-server-5.0.17 is marked as broken: MySQL versions 
mismatch: mysql41-client is installed and wanted version is 
mysql50-client.

pkg_info doesn't show any mysql's installed.  I've tried pkg_delete 
and pkg_deinstall's. I've gone into all the 
/usr/ports/databases/mysql* directories and done make deinstall

Can someone please tell me what's wrong and how to fix it ( and maybe 
how I got into this state so I can understand what's going on)?

There must be another database or more involved that I'm not 
understanding.

Thank you
