This should really be an FAQ somewhere. There's a sysctl you need to set, something like machdep.ofb_relax_mmap (sysctl -a | grep mmap will turn it up quickly). You need to set it to 1 for X to work. You can put it in /etc/sysctl.conf to be set at boot time. > 2. Will there be any precompiled packages for the PowerPC ? This would be nice, of course. There was some talk of adding a G4 XServe to the build cluster once Marcel finishes his SMP work. Hopefully this will result in packages. > 3. Any chance of getting Java 1.5(or newer) working? > (sofar it appears to be x86 or amd only) You could try building it. No guarantees, though. -Nathan
