Has anyone gotten xfractint compiled and working on FreeBSD? I have
successfully compiled it, but the text mode operations don't work.
I think it *might* be a problem with FreeBSD curses (and also 386bsd
0.1 curses, because I had the same symptoms there). Also, other
curses apps (e.g. pcomm) seem to not work too well. Rogue, Nethack,
Hack, and the other games work fine, though :-). Has anyone else
noticed such symptoms? any fixes?
I've noticed the same with xfractint. Often (when choosing a fractal
type, for example) the display is not updated correctly or the cursor
is at the wrong position.
Sorry, no fixes. Otherwise, xfractint runs fine.
