Get the patch over here. Source can be found over here. It is a linux binary which modifies BIOS video mode. There is also a FreeBSD port for that sysutils/i855vidctl10 which I haven't tried yet.

Recently, one of my friend(?) आदित्य गोखले (someone about whom I know but haven't met yet) posted following article on newsgroup. Thought its worth posting it over here.

Following is the article:

I am sure every one is facing this problem and oh not to mention those of us who come in car. These people must be given courage or bravery award for the feat of sustaining the agonizing traffic jams. I was wondering what could be the reason behind these regular traffic jams on Baner Aundh road these days. But just before you start replying I wish to share some views

Recently decided to work on a small project for my school. Due to obvious(?) reasons decided to go for web-application. Hemanshu recommended Ruby on Rails. Tried it. And was really surprised with the things I was able to do in short span of time. Worth giving serious time to try out few(rather many!!!) things. For windows evironment try out instant rails. If you are *nix user, there is no need to tell how to get started ;).

To update the ports tree you must run the commands as root.

Install cvsup package. Run following commands


pkg_add -r cvsup
rehash


Run 'rehash' iff you are using sh/csh/tcsh. No need if you are running bash.

Create a file /tmp/cvs-supfile.
Put following in that file


*default host=freebsd.mirrors.tds.net
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
*default tag=.
ports-all


To update the ports tree

cvsup -z -g -L 2 /tmp/cvs-supfile
