Originally posted by cbkihong I do understand there can be more problems if I don't stick to ports/packages and compile everything myself.

But it seems by doing so I can no longer use ports/packages for any x applications as the ports assume xfree86 4.2.0 instead of 4.3.0. if I use those ports/packages then xfree 4.2.0 would be fetched and installed, and that is definitely not what I want.
I compiled XFree86 4.3.0 on my FreeBSD 5.1-BETA installation from the ports tree this past weekend. Is your ports tree up to date?
I normally install from the ports tree, update the ports tree via cvsup and use `portupgrade --all` to recompile all the ports that I have installed.
Many of the ports have ./configure style options that you can use on the make command line in the form of:

Hi!
I have a major issue with FreeBSD 7.1 i386.
We did a change in our Unix env where we exchanged home storage from a NetAPP running udp to a NetAPP running tcp.
Now I cant mount homedirs since NFS/AMD seem to fallback to udp :(
Trying to force it with amd options nfs_proto=tcp and so on.

snd_fm801
SND_FM801(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SND_FM801(4)NAME
snd_fm801 -- Forte Media FM801 bridge device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device sound
device snd_fm801
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
snd_fm801_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The snd_fm801 bridge driver allows the generic audio driver, sound(4), to attach audio devices based on the Forte Media FM801 chipset. This
is a common chipset found in various parts used by OEM manufacturers.
HARDWARE
The snd_fm801 driver supports audio devices based on the following chipset:
o Forte Media FM801
SEE ALSO sound(4)HISTORY
The snd_fm801 device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.2.
AUTHORS
This manual page was written by Joel Dahl <joel@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual sound controller, making it possible to have soundless support. One
problem is that both chipsets, with and without sound support, use the same PCI ID. This makes it impossible to determine which one is
installed.
