Sorry, by AC i didn't mean "Alternating Current" but "Air Conditioning" ... i was refering to a heating problem. Well, both units are on a PC laptop cooling pad, and only feel warm to the touch. Also, the log that John send earlier showed that the max temp of the disk drives was less than 40C, I th...

...I also tried a very new FreeBSD (with the help of Poul-Henning Kamp) some days ago. It is more tricky - we could get the network to work _OR_ the X-server...

We're not using X, so I can't confirm or deny this.

Both machines were plugged into the same UPS (1500 Watt, 300 WH), and remember, they don't have the power-on reset feature, so there was no "real" power failure. Of course, that doesn't rule out a glitch getting through the power supply. There doesn't seem to be an event log on this UPS that I can f...

I'm not familiar with this particular problem, but is sounds like the problem you are running into is called "Overscan". Old analog and new digital TV's expand the picture a bit (usually five to seven percent) so the formerly (in the analog and VHS tape days) ugly edges of the image are trimmed off....

Or do what I did, and buy a $15 USB to Ethernet adapter. The cheapest one I found that worked at 100baseT under FreeBSD was the Trendnet TU2-ET100 at about $15 at Fry's. They had a cheaper ($10) Trendnet unit (the part number is very similar, TU-ET100C), but it only worked at 10baseT with FreeBSD. J...

Upgraded to 7.2 over the Internet, and unfortunately, No Joy on the internal Ethernet (RealTek), sorry. Well, there was some improvement, actually--now ifconfig -a at least sees the interface are re0:, but it always shows it as Status = no carrier. Is there some new driver I have to install separate...

I tried a $10 Generic USB-Ethernet adapter with my FreeBSD Fit-PC2, and it wouldn't run above 10 mbits/second, so I bought a $39 Linksys unit, and it works fine at 100 mb/s.

The $10 one ran at full speed on our other unit, a Ubuntu 9.0.4 Fit-PC2, btw.

My monitor on the Fit-PC2 is a bit fuzzy, and it complains periodically about my graphics resolution not being set for optimum of 1680 x 1050 pixels. I don't see how to tell Ubuntu 9.0.4 to go to that resolution. Any clues?

The monitor is a cheapo Envision 22" Widescreen unit.

Hi, Fluffy, We've had two of these for a couple of months now I think, and one has been working as a web server under FreeBSD for the entire time, almost... Until a few days ago, when we had a UPS failure and discovered to our dismay that there is no auto-boot on power-fail feature, we've been up co...

Downloading the 7.2 DVD image now--I'll try it on my Fit-PC2 and let you know.
