X-BeenThere: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: X11 on FreeBSD -- maintaining and support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 09:44:17 -0000 Hi X11 People! First of all, I have to thank you for your great job! Really thanks. I'm testing Xorg 7.7 on FreeBSD 8.2 with NVidia Card. I move from libglut to freeglut and recompiled everything. I've found a couple of small issues: 1) flash player shows a colour mismatch: people are blue, cyan is orange, red is purple, blue is red, and so on... What can I try to investigate this problem? 2) I modified bsd.ports.mk in order to force other ports to use freeglut _GL_glut_LIB_DEPENDS= glut.12:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/freeglut I found this problem compiling graphics/jasper with openGL.
