Subject: Help with Dell Precision M4800 (laptop)?
Message-ID: <20150318193419.GA1215@albert.catwhisker.org>

I have had quite good experiences running FreeBSD on a Dell Precision
M4400 -- enough so I bought a refurbished one when my original one was
going to be going in for (warranty) repair for a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, the M4400 is no long a very recent model, and wht with
rebuilding FreeBSD a couple of times per day (stable/10 & head), as well
as updating all installed ports daily, as well as more "normal" (ab)use,
the M4400s are wearing out, and I had extended the Dell warranty as far as
it could go -- and that expired a couple of years ago (after 5 years of
warranty).

I had hoped that the Precision M4800 would be a somewhat-updated model
that would be similar to the M4400.  Once I opened the box and found
that I needed to get the hardware documentation in order to swap the
disk drive (as I had no intention of running MS Windows, ever, and I had
just purchased a larger, faster disk drive that already had FreeBSD on
it), I realized that things might be a bit difficult.

Here's the current status:
+ FreeBSD (both stable/10 & head) boots (desite an occasional "invalid
  partition table!" BIOS message at boot).

+ The wired NIC is still an em(4), so that works OK.

- Although I have empirical evidence that BIOS A13 is available, the
  machine arrived with A11 in place.

- The wireless NIC appears to be a Broadcom device, and I haven't been
  able to persuade it to be recognized by a driver yet.

- I tried swapping in an Atheros NIC; that would occasionally associate,
  but never lit the "WiFi" status light, and it was intermittent at best.

- Despite updating to the recent x11/nvidia-driver port, I have been
  unable (so far) to get X running.  (It whines about an inability to
  find any screens.)

- Attempts to suspend (to RAM) have uniformly failed so far.  I have
  thus not attempted to resume.

- The keyboard is rather larger than that of the M4400 -- it has a
  numeric keypad; unfortunately, the tactile feedback is very different
  from that of the M4400.  Worse, the touchpad is way over to the left
  side of the palmrest (which I find pretty annoying).

- The screen is only 1080 pixels tall (vs. the 1200 I'm used to).  Yeah,
  I understand why; that doesn't mean I need to either like it or pretend
  that it's a Good Thing.


I've placed a handful of files under
<http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/m4800/>:

Xorg.0.log
Xorg.1.log
  A couple of attempts to start X.

m4800.dmi
  Output of "dmidecode"

m4800.pci
  Output of "pciconf -lv

xorg.conf
  One of the X.org config files I tried using


I'll try grabbing a dmesg.boot and adding that in when I get a chance
(probably tonight).

I welcome suggestions for getting the machine to work as well as the
M4400s did in their prime. :-}

Peace,
david

A complete rebuild of FreeBSD stable/10 @279586 took about 26 minutes.

Changing the BIOS "Switchable Video" option from the default "on" to
"off" appears to have resolved both of the above.

It's a stable/10 non-verbose dmesg.boot, but it's there.

Subject: [gsoc15][idea-proposal] Port FreeBSD to a smartphone [needs-feedback]
Message-ID: <CAB_vas8J4ysNcGB5DXacDaXe0t5ZYmEVpoweuo+mcS3DH4JVAQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

My name is Giovanny, I am an student from Universidad Cooperativa de
Colombia planning to participate this year in the gsoc with FreeBSD
organization. I reviewed the project list [1] for this year and I am
interested in propose a project for Port FreeBSD to a smartphone (any maker
and model) [2]. I will share with you my idea, I really appreciate have
some feedback for my final proposal in the gsoc page.

FreeBSD has a good compiling process for ARM [3] architecture and hardware.
Taking advantage of this FreeBSD could run on a smartphone by three ways:

1. Using Android (based device and build process) we can compile FreeBSD
kernel with support to the hardware of the device, then use a SD as system
partition and configure it as a normal FreeBSD system. Flash an image
generated for boot, equal to zImage in the block partition of the device
using fastboot, so at reboot it will be running the FreeBSD system. After
have the device running is more easy work on a display lib for the device.
At the end if it can boot a device using this process and emulator could do
this (changing the boot image for the one with FreeBSD) too, I use AOSP to
define an environment and a set of tools to compile a light emulator with
just the components necessaries to run the FreeBSD system. Mozilla does
this to build Firefox OS with AOSP (devices and emulators) [4]. [This is
not a image to chroot-jail]

2. Porting the idea of Gentoo for Android [5] to FreeBSD, this could be
more difficult than expected due to port the concept of Gentoo RAP to
FreeBSD could take a long time of research. Added to it, Gentoo RAP is made
to work over Linux, so will take more time adapt the concept to FreeBSD and
get something working with the low level layer of Android in the device. If
by X reason the concept of Gentoo for Android it's done for FreeBSD could
be possible think on port and use Webtop [6] as output for X servers how
was done in Ubuntu for Android.

3. Running FreeBSD directly on an Android device using an application that
emulates-wraps a terminal to boot a pre-compiled obb (just a tar package
with a different name) package of a FreeBSD system. It will provide a shell
to access all the programs in FreeBSD system but only text-mode will be
supported. To interact from the smartphone with a graphical environment in
FreeBSD there are to ways, first use other apps like a vnc client or embed
a custom vnc/display client with own libs to display the enviroment. This
method doesn't require root on the phone to run FreeBSD and the final apk
of the application to run FreeBSD could be published in the Play store (if
the idea is to publish it), so everyone could install it and run FreeBSD
instantly after apk installation from Play Store.

Three possible ways but personally I see 1 and 3 are the ones with best
results. Number 1 is the way we more friendly for daily testing and with
more percentage for future development. It will keep compatibility with
latest changes in arm build process and after new CPU and boards support is
added, will be easy build and test on more devices with this method. Number
3 it's more a user side and probably not offers a complete FreeBSD system
experience as expected. I see that part of the gsoc is R&D, so I will be
happy to research and develop until the end with all the ideas to get the
best experience of FreeBSD on a phone.

I know all this needs to be more detailed to get and idea if I am wrong or
not, so feel free to quote where you think needs clarification in the
process. Any feedback or opinions about this is really appreciated to my
final proposal in the gsoc page.

Thanks,
Gio

* About me:
I am studying at University Cooperativa de Colombia, my future degree will
be Systems Engineer. I had been contributing to open source project since 4
years ago, today I am an active Mozilla contributor [7], I work sending
patches to the Firefox and Firefox OS code base [8]. Also I am part of the
reviewer team at Firefox Marketplace (I review the apps that are sent to
the Marketplace to be published) and I am a Mozilla Reps [9] too.

I contribute to other open source projects too (Tor Project time ago as ES
translator) different to Mozilla, you can see some of my contributions to
other projects in my Github profile [10]. Most of my projects are open
sourced in Github [11] and those projects are coded using different
languages, some of them are C, Go, Python, Javascript, Ruby, Java and some
shell scripts.

* Previous experience with FreeBSD:
I maintain some FreeBSD systems running in my University and a year ago I
helped to run some FreeBSD servers with an IT team for a hosting provider
company.

the high-end ThinkPads normally work except the graphics which is only
VESA. Do not buy cheaper ThinkPads if you are not sure that the
hardware is supported.

Hi!

I started trying to document them on the FreeBSD wiki:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops

There are quite a few there to choose from. Each link should have some
information about what's supported and not supported.

Hi,

if you don't need the newest model, I had a Lenovo T530 fully working
(but never tested suspend) with FreeBSD 9 and 10. In the T530 you can
also disable Intel GFX and use NVidia only.
Since my T530 jumped from the desk ^^ I have a T540 now which is kind of
unusable with FreeBSD :(( Haswell or Broadwell are still not supported
with FreeBSD CURRENT. And you cannot disable Intel GFX anymore. Shame on
you Lenovo!! The Haswell (or Broadwell) thing also means that integrated
WiFi will not work.
So if you want to use a Haswell or Broadwell NB be prepared to only have
VESA GFX and Wifi via an external dongle. Both Sucks, if you try to
really use this NB.

This is OT, but I hope that at least Haswell GFX will be supported soon.
I can live with the WiFi Dongle. But I cannot live with VESA. And I
don't want to live with Linux any longer.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi!

Yes, I plan to start working on this Real Soon Now?. No ETA to give but
I hope to finish this before FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE. This work will
include Haswell but not Broadwell or Skylake.

Watch the freebsd-x11@ mailing-list and/or the graphics team blog [1] to
be kept informed :)

Yes this is the best public resource.  Many of the Lenovo T and X series 
there are well supported, mostly because they're often owned by FreeBSD 
developers or 'power users'.

Regarding what stefan said about problems moving from a working T530 to 
a not-so working yet T540, it's a reminder that using the very latest 
models may involve adventures you'd rather not bother having, at least 
until you have a stable machine doing whatever you want it to do.

Developers go for latest kit because, well, they have an insatiable urge 
to encounter problems and overcome them :) but many users will do better 
with slightly older laptops, like already well-tested superceded models, 
still coming with full warranty and usually with a hefty discount.

It really depends on how close to the bleeding edge you want to travel!

cheers, Ian

I do run 11-CURRENT on

Acer Aspire One D250 (which is in the above Wiki)
Dell M4400
Dell Latitude E6330
Acer Chromebook C720
Asus EeePC 900

All are completely supported in 11-CURRENT. I think I have had to change
the Wifi card in the M4400, and the C720 runs in Vesa mode (which you
will not note from the user perspective running KDE4.

I promise to document them in the Wiki.
