My previous ports were all built around May 23rd. Due to some odd problems (FF21 crashed, libreoffice would not start, etc.) I decided to rebuild all my ports. Today I have built enough ports to be able to run Xorg and open-motif. About 260 ports are built without error. I launch a number of xterm windows in which I work with mouse and keyboard. Once I reach this minimum level of ports building, I can transition from virtual TTYs to xterm windows as I build out the rest of my ports (target number is between 800 and 900). I was shocked and stunned when I began to move my mouse and arrange my xterm windows, some iconified and some not, that my mouse cursor disappeared! Also, my three mouse buttons did not work. The keyboard continued to work, so I suspect some change in the xf86-input-mouse port from 1.7.1_1 to 1.19.0 has occurred. I was happily using 1.7.1_1 as recently as yesterday (before this upgrade effort) where my mouse worked flawlessly. BTW, the mouse works just fine in the virtual TTYs where I am now composing this message. I can provide more detail if needed, but at present I cannot use my system with the X Window System (Xorg and friends) at all. This limits me to using only command line (non-graphical) commands and applications which is limiting. After I wiped all my ports (including removing the "work" dirctories), I ran: # cd /usr/ports # svn update /usr/ports I am aware of a recent entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING about changes to the Xorg family of ports, but for normal (standard) use, it said I should not expect any problems. This is clearly not the case! In building Xorg today, I ran these commands: # cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg # make install In the past, for the past six or seven years, this has always worked for me. I follow this with a build of x11-toolkits/open-motif which has not changed version for some time. Therefor, I do not think open-motif is at fault today. I use mouse focus within Mwm, so you can understand what I mean when I say my system is not usable at present. Please advise! :-) Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu 72 characters width template ----------------------------------------->|
