I started with the 64-bit version on a dual powermac g5. The purpose of my tests is to have a system with the following features: - base system; - optimized xorg; - xfce4 as wm; - a web browser; (webkit/midors or firefox ?) - a multimedia player; (vlc ?) - a text editor; - some games; Once the ports compilation is complete, i would like to export the packages to make them available to other users. I am a beginner of freebsd so i apologize for questions that may be trivial for more experienced users. I have achieved these results: Freebsd 11.1 boots fine on g5 with fx5200 nvidia video card, while it hangs immediately if i use a radeon based video card; I've compiled ports for x11/xorg and X works fine (the xorg.conf file must be created manually), compiled xfce4 as wm; I stuck in the compilation of VLC 2.2.8 (segfault in vlc-cache-gen during make install) Do you have any idea if the vlc ports are broken or suggestions for an alternative media players ?
