(I was using it on a Sun 3/60 back then....) A few days ago, I happened to want to use it .... and I find that it starts OK, but once a Drawing mode or an Editing action is selected, it locks up -- no other selection appears to have an effect, and causing the application to exit requires some "external assistance" (e.g., from another xterm, "pkill xfig"). I confess that it has been a while since I previously had attempted to use xfig, and one of the things that has occurred not too long before I experienced the above is the event documented in ports/UPDATING entry 20130525: "xorg, including libraries and some drivers, was updated...." (I cite this merely to recognize that it is a change that may be of relevance; I have no evidence at all that there may be a causal relationship between that event and the symptoms I described above.) But debugging an X11 application is something that leaves me rather wondering how to go about it. Any clues? I've set Reply-to, as I'm not subscribed to x11@. FWIW, my recent FreeBSD update history may be found at ; today, it's: FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #480 r251614M/251616:901504: Tue Jun 11 04:51:55 PDT 20= 13 root@g1-227.catwhisker.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386 And (today) my ports tree is at r320544.
