I wanted to know pretty much the same question and went searching the archives and FAQs. I came across what seemed like an old FAQ-type thing saying that SWiM had a Motif (1.2 I think) for FreeBSD 1.X. It was only available at the ACC Bookstore in Westport CT. Well, I called and they had Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD 2.X. I have had it installed for a little over a month now with no problems. I've been busy playing around with drivers somewhat and haven't had a lot of time for doing as much work (Motif development) with it as I'd like. But I did set it up and compile a few things on it. Like xmcd (pretty awesome) and nedit (great editor). I am running the February snapshot (2.0.2?) and only had to change a couple of things to get both to compile cleanly. I did have a problem with the install script that came with SWiM and a few other little things that I had to do to get it installed properly. But I did keep a log and developed a little help/readme file for it. I was going to send this to Jordan but never got around to it. If you do end up getting SWiM ($149) and want my little help file, just shoot me some email. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
