------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your SDL library has been built with libvgl support, which means that you
can run almost any SDL application straight on your console (VESA 2.0
compatible videocard is required).

To do this you have to load the vesa kernel module or enable it in your
kernel, and set environment variable "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=vgl".

=====================================================================

Qt4 can be built with optional support for:
- Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS)
- Network Audio System (NAS)
- Qt style that renders using GTK (QGTKSTYLE)

In order to enable them, you need add
QT4_OPTIONS=    CUPS NAS QGTKSTYLE
to your /etc/make.conf and compile devel/qt4-corelib and
x11-toolkits/qt4-gui ports.

Attention! Whenever you change the QT4_OPTIONS both
devel/qt4-corelib and x11-toolkits/qt4-gui ports must be rebuilt!

Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/gamin-0.1.10_4.tbz... Done.

===============================================================================

Gamin will only provide realtime notification of changes for at most n files,
where n is the minimum value between (kern.maxfiles * 0.7) and
(kern.maxfilesperproc - 200). Beyond that limit, files will be polled.

If you often open several large folders with Nautilus, you might want to
increase the kern.maxfiles tunable (you do not need to set
kern.maxfilesperproc, since it is computed at boot time from kern.maxfiles).

For a typical desktop, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf, then
reboot the system:

kern.maxfiles="25000"

The behavior of gamin can be controlled via the various gaminrc files.
See http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html on how to create
these files.  In particular, if you find gam_server is taking up too much
CPU time polling for changes, something like the following may help
in one of the gaminrc files:

# reduce polling frequency to once per 10 seconds
# for UFS file systems in order to lower CPU load
fsset ufs poll 10

This has got to be the bigges load of crap I have ever, ever seen. And I have been using FreeBSD as the OS of my preference since 2001.

I found out that the arrow keys are the same as a keyboard arrow key and the “ok” button equals the “enter” key. So, now I needed to find a way to use the arrow keys to navigate.

The solution I used is to use jsquery.js with the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">
var x=1;
function init()
{
$("#" + x).css("text-decoration","underline");
}

$(document).keydown(function(e)
{

$("#" + x).css("text-decoration","none");
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
$("#" + x).click();
}
if (e.keyCode == 37) {
x--;
}
if (e.keyCode == 38) {
x=x-16;
}
if (e.keyCode == 39) {
x++;
}
if (e.keyCode == 40) {
x=x+16;
}
if (x > 32)
x=32;
if (x < 1)
x=1;
$("#" + x).css("text-decoration","underline");
// no scrolling
if (e.preventDefault)
e.preventDefault();
else
e.returnValue = false;
});
window.onload = init;
</script>

Each of the clickable links was defined as follows:

<a href="bla.php?id=1"><span id="1">Number 1</span></a>
<a href="bla.php?id=2"><span id="2">Number 2</span></a>

Works like a charm!

I have done some research and found that it is very difficult to receive a multicast stream which was not generated by a Windows Media server. So I had to revert to VLC mediaplayer.

The stream itself is sourced by VLC as well, so this made some sense. First of all, you need to install the VLC mediaplayer plugin. The browser of my choice was Firefox 6 and it was easy to install. You do have to explicitly enable it when installing VLC. Also, I found that using version 1.1.9 gave the best results. Versions 1.1.10 and 1.1.11 have some nasty bugs in them.

To embed the player, use the following HTML code:

  <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" id="vlc" name="vlc" autoplay="yes"
           loop="yes" width="100%" height="1000" src="udp://@225.0.0.1:1234" />
    <SCRIPT language="javascript"'>
     var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
    </script>

The reason for the javascript is to enable controls to function, ie full-screen etc.

Previously, I would use a laptop, a CF-adapter and boot a FreeBSD installation CD. For my latest project, I thought of a new way. Using Qemu, it is very easy to install and configure the OS prior to mounting the CF into the device.

 

Qemu is virtualization software, similar to VMware. The big difference is that Qemu is completely free. Once Qemu is downloaded and the folder is opened (no installation required), all that is needed is to copy the CD iso-file in that directory and launch Qemu. Assuming that your CF is recognized as the third harddrive, Qemu needs to be invoked as follows:

qemu -boot d -cdrom cd.iso  -m 512 -L bios -bios bios.bin -hda \\.\PhysicalDrive2

In this case, I assume that your cd is named cd.iso. Remember to check after installation whether or not the correct disk numbering is being used in /etc/fstab. Also, make sure you have enabled the serial console during boot:

echo '-h' > /boot.config

And don’t forget that you have enable the serial console AFTER boot. This is done by enabling /dev/ttyu0 in /etc/ttys. Happy installing :-)

I needed a CPE which was able to receive multicast over PPPoE session and send it to a client behind NAT. To the best of my knowledge, no commercially available CPE can perform this task.  Yes, I know that dd-wrt should be able to do the trick but I did not have an old Linksys laying around. So I decided to build my own CPE based on a Soekris net5501.

 

My OS of choice has been FreeBSD for 10 years now so I installed FreeBSD 8.2 on a 16GB compact-flash card. By default, a working PPPoE client is installed, so I only had to configure it. My /etc/ppp/ppp.conf looks like this:

default:
  set log Phase tun command # you can add more detailed logging if you wish
  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
client:
  set device PPPoE:vr0 # replace xl1 with your Ethernet device
  set authname my-user
  set authkey my-password
  set dial
  set login
  add default HISADDR

After configuring the PPPoE client to start-up upon boot, it connects automatically and performs NAT. When this was working, I installed isc-dhcp41-server to enable DHCP on the “LAN” side of the network. No problem of course, but for your reference here is my configuration file:

option domain-name "cluecentral.net";
option domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
ddns-update-style none;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.200;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}

The next challenge was to enable multicast traffic. In order to allow multicast traffic to traverse the router, the kernel module ip_mroute.ko must be loaded. Initially, I configured /boot/loader.conf to handle this, but after a reboot my kernel kept crashing. I eventually move this part to /etc/rc.local.

Now that we have PPPoE, DHCP and general multicast working, the difficult part was waiting. If you know how multicast work,  you will know that in sparse-mode, IGMP is required to request a multicast stream. This is the problem that I was encountering with commercially available hardware: IGMP proxying is generally not supported. The FreeBSD ports have igmpproxy, written by Constantin Baranov and Johnny Egeland. I installed igmpproxy, and here is my configuration file:

quickleave
phyint tun0 upstream  ratelimit 0  threshold 1
altnet 192.168.0.0/16
phyint vr1 downstream  ratelimit 0  threshold 1
phyint vr2 disabled
phyint vr3 disabled

Now I had another problem: due to some bug, it would not startup correctly the first time. So I enabled a restart in /etc/rc.local and voila: it works!. For your reference, my /etc/rc.local is below:

/sbin/kldload ip_mroute.ko
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/igmpproxy start
sleep 2
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/igmpproxy stop
sleep 2
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/igmpproxy start

And for even more reference, my /etc/rc.conf

keyrate="fast"
sshd_enable="YES"
hostname="CPE"
ifconfig_vr0="up"
ifconfig_vr1="192.168.0.1/24"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
igmpproxy_enable="YES"
mrouted_enable="NO"
cloned_interfaces="tun0"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="client"
dhcpd_enable="YES"
dhcpd_flags="-q"
dhcpd_conf="/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf"
dhcpd_ifaces="vr1"
dhcpd_withumask="022"
gateway_enable="YES"

Comments are welcome.
