Hello, For some reason, I thought little about the "clear" command today.. Let's say a privileged user (root) logs on, edit a sensitive file (e.g, a file containing a password, running vipw, etc) .. then runs clear and logout. Then anyone can press the scroll-lock command, scroll back up and read the sensitive information.. Isn't "clear" ment to clear the

...deo backlight stays off after resume. A common problem on -9, so I set hw.acpi.reset_video=1. That restores the backlight. However, the video mode isn't restored. I have my console set to VGA_80x60 and the resume seems to set it up "wrong". I get half or so of each line displayed. A vidcontrol VGA_80x60 restores things to proper working order. Is there a shortcoming somewhere in syscons/ACPI video restore on -9 that doesn't properly restore the configured mode? Thanks again for all your hard work! Now that you've done that, I'll go off and work on fixing up ath(4) suspend/r...

...00HN motherboard with Intel GMA 3600 video card. I want to install FreeBSD 9-Release on it via PXE, but after booting the system, it seems that video card driver doesn't work properly. Have a look at this picture: http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5648/20120714393.jpg I've tried the # vidcontrol 80x25 but unfortunately it doesn't help. Do you have any idea how to deal with taht graphics? Regards, -- Marek

Hi Sam, do you know if there is anything done about cbb(4)? I have many wireless adapters with ath(4), but only the one based on PCMCIA is making problems on FreeBSD. I cannot boot my notebook with the device inserted into the port, or it will render the system unusable (100% load on cbb(4)). And all I can see is the following: Jul 12 14:58:39 link kernel: ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset

Hi, during some big discussions in the last monts on various lists, one of the problems was that some people would like to use freebsd-update but can't as they are using a custom kernel. With all the kernel modules we provide, the need for a custom kernel should be small, but on the other hand, we do not provide a small kernel-skeleton where you can load just the modules you need.
