THere are a lot of MS-DOS programs that won't run on FreeBSD; I don't think that's FreeBSD-related, I think it's the code doing the wrong things to run on FreeBSD. > I even installed Linux RedHat 8.0 ( gcc 3.2x ) code. It works. > Only on FreeBSD 5,0 , it doesn't work. Have you tried running the 4.x binaries on 5.x, or are you running different binaries? It could be that the code is broken in a way that exercises a complier error; 5.x uses a different compiler than 4.x. I would recommend you install the 4.x binaries on 5.x, rather than running 5.x binaries. If the binaries are exactly the same, then I will be willing to blame the OS, even though you are one of the few persons who are running into problems. As far as root cause analysis goes, you've given us a report that looks like "it doesn't work". If you can make it so that the only thing that has changed is the OS, then it willbe much easier to blame the OS. I'm still not sure that it isn't the AGP driver being different. Have you tried an unaccelerated X server? I'm talking "Xvga", not just turning off the acceleration in the config file... -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
