https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244290 Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|FIXED |--- Status|Closed |In Progress --- Comment #38 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> --- Reopening this bug. (In reply to Samy Mahmoudi from comment #36) First of all I'm not an expert about modern desktop practices and while I t= ry to do my best to maintain XFCE ports I don't have a full grasp of all the freedesktop.org standards and tools, like consolekit and the like. I may be wrong but I can state the following: SLiM has been unmaintained for years and does not adhere to all the latest practices, so problems when using it and not applying workarounds can be expected.=20 Also launching a modern desktop environment from console (or old display managers) can require special care. in detail: >FACT 1: Starting xfce4 from vt, the up arrow key is not correctly mapped (= pressing the key makes the xfce4-terminal cursor blinks but does not show p= revious shell commands...) and my compiz desktop switcher (CTRL+ALT+AN_ARRO= W_KEY) does not trigger. Exactly how do you start xfce from console? In such case I think the correct command is: startxfce4 --with-ck-launch This wraps Xorg in consolekit which provides some needed services. Have you tried this? Also, being xfwm4 a compositing window manager I'm not sure if using also compiz at the same time is supported or they could conflict in certain situations. Regarding the other facts II admit I have no idea what is happening. I've n= ever used autologin. What is the exact setxkbmap command you are running? Also, what locale have you setup in your environment? That could be affecti= ng things. I'll followup with the patch to the ports that you can try, but it's a minor change that, most probably, is not going to affect what you are seeing. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
