I installed on it XFree86-4 distributed in binary by www.XFree86.org because I have an ATI all in wonder 128 pro video card and X11 release 3.3 did not support it. It worked perfectly. I installed in my computer FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE, I also installed to XFree86 4.2 included in the CD. xdm stop working, it just tried to start unsuccessfully. I tried compiling XFree86-4 from the ports with the same result. Curiously, xdm reports: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: xdm: Undefined symbol "_XdmcpWrapperToOddParity" which means that some object [a function or a variable] is not present in a dynamic library. I downloaded the binary distribution of X11 release 4.2 from ftp.XFree86.org and installed it. It worked perfectly, and xdm also worked fine. >How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE or FreeBSD-4.6.2-RELEASE and patch it. Install X and change /etc/ttys Configure X: X -configure test X is working properly: startx if it works, press: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace Now, run xdm: /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm :-? >Fix: Even though is was a solution, it does not fix the problem in the ports. Download X11 release 4.2 from ftp://ftp.XFree86.org [in its binary form] and install it. By the way, the missing object "_XdmcpWrapperToOddParity" seems to be present in three different libraries in the X11 distribution from XFree86.org but it is only present in one library in the FreeBSD distribution [package and compiling the port]. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
