FreeBSD 7 on an ASUS U6E laptop

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:15:06 -0500

Man, BSD and X have both grown so very very nicely that it scarcely seems worth documenting it anymore, but what the heck - for the sake of anyone googling this, here it is -

The only bother really is the 4965AGN wireless card. It's got a driver being worked on (iwn), but it's still rather experimental and as this is a machine to work I didn't want to screw around with that. So I picked up a D-Link WUA-1340 USB adapter which is right there in the 7.0 hardware list, so bob's your uncle and that's sorted. If you're interested in mucking about with the iwn driver, there is a group working on that, have at it. It's got some promising commits to FreeBSD 8 so you may find it lovely.

The other quirk is just that the X3100 graphic adapter will default to the i810 driver, which is a bit wonky. That's easy to fix:

cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810

make deinstall

cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel

make install clean

X should now detect everything just fine at the 1280x800 resolution that makes this laptop so very crispy.

Sound was easy, it's got an intel High Definition Audio card in, which is supported just fine with the hda driver which is in the 7.0 distribution. Switch it on in the kernel or

kldload snd_hda
and you're good.

It's only been forty years

Today's the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. He's sort of become a canonized Rorschach, almost everyone being fond of the idea of Dr. King, and everyone projecting their own ideas on to him, from black nationalists to socialists to conservatives actually suggesting his "I have a dream" speech indicates he'd be opposed to Affirmative Action. Some of these have relationship to things King actually said and stood for, and some not so much.

But the thing that sticks out for me, right now, is that this was only forty years ago. King was regarded by the FBI as the most dangerous man in America, he was accused of being un-American when he spoke out against the Vietnam war, and millions were relieved when he died. In light of this, all the accusations flying around of Rev. Wright being an anti-American racist extremist are even more absurd. The shit King lived through, and African-Americans lived through, it wasn't so long ago and it leaves a mark.

Lights out!
