I tried that tool, but it doesn't seem to work on stock FreeBSD as expected. A precompiled package is available, "doas" is among the required dependencies. After adjusting some files manually according to the pkg-message, the program finally seems to run, but it doesn't display anything for me. I'm using fvwm2 on a Lenovo R61i laptop. Maybe there is something else that needs to be installed or configured in order to make this tool functioning? Or does it integrate with KDE or Gnome exlusively? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
