I rebuilt the whole of KDE on DP2 (upto date as of a couple of days ago). Apart from me growing older in the process nothing worked well, despite using the same configuration as on 4.7. - It starts but no sound arises - The mouse moves, responds to clicks sometimes, but when I bring up the menu and move the mouse it brings up the box asking what command you want to run. - Lots of errors reported about bad file descriptors. - Gives a default resolution that is not the one I set. - I.e unusable. Windowmaker does not work, either...sort of similarly. Also says /dev/dsp does not exist. Gnome ... well it bitched about the window manager, but otherwise showed similar symptoms to KDE. I think the problem must lie in X itself. Well it exercised DP2 pretty well in building it. But it did not produce a usable GUI in all 3 cases. System is 512MB, PIII 1Ghz, Matrox G450 AGP, Soundblaster Live! Value. Plus Logitech Cordless USB Optical Mouse. Am I being premature, there does not seem to be a KDE Package for 5.0. When I tried to fetch it all I got was one file, that new groovy theme that KDE comes with. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
