Scary? I didn’t study chemistry to be scary! or thought of as a druggo! Chem names are cool and unique cos they’re original, no one else does it!

Excellent. Both problems fixed in BETA-1. Thank you Dru. And sorry for posting in the wrong thread.

And I’d add other must-have features for any decent desktop system — working hibernation, better camera support, video acceleration for nvidia/ati/intel, bluetooth and mobile phone support, etc. All those many features that users of other systems take for granted. (For me personally Mac OS X is a good inspiration.)
And as Rob said PC-BSD should focus on those features and either work on them internally or contract (with help of the Foundation) other developers.
Many thanks for all you do and keep focused!

Yes, the Intel should be fixed in BETA1 (due out in the next day or so). Let us know if you try the BETA and it still gives DRM errors.

Same problem here.

Also, the Xserver doesn´t start anymore. From Xorg.0.log:
[...]
(EE) intel(0): [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:00:02.0: No such file or directory.
(EE) intel(0): Failed to become DRM master.
[...]

Madam Lavigne

I’m late, I know. Anyway may I submit something worth rethinking?

IMHO the whole PC-BSD naming needs a second thought.

Fibonacci, Hubble, Isotope are either too scary (isotope!), or nerdy (Fibonacci). Not to mention they are not (self) consistent (aka cohesive) withing their scope of names.

Let’s desktop versions go with Solar System’s planets’ names (then their moons) and server editions with nearby star names. Simple, understandable and easy to remember/recall.

Name for the “Server Edition?” Server Edition sure is Descriptive, Informative and Correct.

I recommend focus on the desktop until the desktop is the best on Earth, otherwise it seems like the project is unstable and changing focus.

Of course what you guys do with your project is none of my business. My business is choosing which project to use, promote and send a donation.

Running PC-BSD with a remote VNC / xnest would be neat. I’ll add that idea to a list for 9.2 possibly, have to see how difficult it would be to enable that functionality.
