I've brought up a nice FreeBSD 2.0.5 machine. 80486/33, Elite EISA board, AHA 1542B, Winner 1000 EISA, ... The following problems under X11. a) If I choose olwm as windowmanager, I can start cmdtool successfully. But if I type a single character into cmdtool it terminates. Same error, if I execute cmdtool under another window manager as fvwm. b) If I startup xman, then I get the pulldown menues as usual, but I can't make a selection... i.e. If I release the mouse button at 'search' nothing else happens. c) If I run an xterm session (no matter which window manager, owwm, piewm, fvwm, twm), then I don't get a font selection box (pressing CTRL+right_mouse). I installed everything from the CD-ROM using the option 'yes to all' and install _everything_. I'm using the S3 accelerated Server. XTerm runs fine with a huge font, if I start a session like xterm -cr red -fn 10x20 -sb -sl 1000 -bg black -fg white Is this a known bug ? I recompiled the xc source tree under /usr/X11R6/src/xc using make World && make install. After that I had to make the proper symlink 'ln -s XF86_S3 X', because the SVGA Server was for me the wrong default, but I get the same results ... Should I upgrade to XFree86 3.1.2 ??? Are binaries for FreeBSD 2.0.5 already available or is it part of the new snap ??? Or could someone give me the ftp address for the XFree86 3.1.2 diffs, then I could compile the new version myself ...
