Lines: 27 Message-ID: <57f3k9$9pn@gosset.maths.tcd.ie> NNTP-Posting-Host: gosset.maths.tcd.ie I'm trying to get workman (and X CD player tool) working on a FreeBSD box (2.2-961014-SNAP, Accelerated X server, Matrox 8MB). I seem to be getting some xview related crash from workman. I tried pulling the ports and rebuilding everything, but that didn't help any. Can anyone out there verify that workman/Xview does work on 2.2-SNAP? (I tried both 8 bits deep and 24 bit.) The error message is: XView warning: Problems setting default modifier mapping (Server package) XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number zsh: 701 segmentation fault (core dumped) workman The modifier stuff doesn't seem important and goes away for some other settings of Xaccel. It is probably related to some server NumLock support that I turned on. I tried ktracing workman, since it won't work properly under gdb, but I don't see anything obvious. Not even a recent syscall returning EBADF. Perhaps something in the most recent return packet from the X server. Any ideas? -- Alan Judge <A HREF="http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/dsg_people/amjudge">Magic!</A> "I have an 8 user poetic license" - terry@icarus.weber.edu
