I have just finished building and installing world and kernel from top-of-the-tree sources: FreeBSD fonix.hos.u-szeged.hu 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #42: Tue May 15 18 :32:49 CEST 2001 root@fonix.hos.u-szeged.hu:/usr/src/sys/compile/FONIX i386 and I am (for the first time ever) a proud owner of a devfs-powered FreeBSD system. So far things are looking A-OK. Having read about all the trouble people were having with xterms, I grew a bit anxious and fired up X. It crashed because the config file contained /dev/mouse and that node no longer exists, but of course correcting it to /dev/sysmouse made things work. Then... I proceeded to open an xterm... and it opened! Just right-clicked the root window and chose xterm form the popup menu and it worked without any patch... although I am confident I do have the latest of phk-s commits and I am running on a new kernel... I am using XFree-3.3.6 and olvwm if that at all counts... of course I am happy to see no problems but why are others seeing them? -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
