Hi,

I'm trying to change XFree86 from 3.3.6 to 4.0.2.
OS is FreeBSD 4.2-stable, as of 29 January 2001.

I'm encountering the following problems so far:

1.  Fvwm95-2.0.43a - Start/popup menus don't work (they worked
    Just Fine in 3.3.6).  I'm getting the following error
    message in the log:

Fvwm-95: in function popup_func: <<ERROR>> No such menu StartMenu 4 -26

2.  Netscape Communicator 4.76:  Forward & backward navigation
    key sequences don't work (alt+leftarrow/alt+rightarrow).
    Alt+letter(s) (Reload, Close, New browser window) work
    fine.  In XFree86-3.3.6, the "windows-logo" key was working
    as the "alt" key (& the forward & back arrows worked),
    but in 4.0.2 we're back to the "real" alt-key.  Note that
    this is an a.out binary running on an ELF system, with
    a.out libraries from XFree86-3.3.3.  IIUC, Netscape does
    its own keyboard mapping, but isn't there some way to
    adjust or customize this?  I can't find anything helpful
    in Netscape's support-site.

    The recent Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-01:07) mentions
    that the BSD/OS ELF binary of Netscape works; where is that
    available?  It is not in ports/packages.  (And do things
    such as license terms allow its use on FreeBSD?)

3.  I get the following message in the log, apparently when
    changing between the X-desktop & a regular console:

(WW) fcntl(7, F_SETOWN): Inappropriate ioctl for device

Any suggestions as to how to fix these?
Naturally, FAQ, -doc & other resource pointers are quite welcome. :)
I've been searching archives at both FreeBSD & XFree86 and
have not yet found anything useful here.  :-/

Many thanks,

-kc
