I've just reinstalled may home box with a recent snapshot and the latest KDE2 packages (attempts to upgrade KDE2 via source and portupgrade left the machine with an unbuildable parts of KDE, due to incompatible automake/autoconf versions, then a binary upgrade with the kde packages got to an inconsistency on the libpng - well, I suppose I missed something ...) Nevermind : I've got KDE 2.2.1 installed on a 4.4-Stable (finally !) what I've lost is the ability to use Alt-Gr accessible characters (the pipe symbol should be accessible via Alt-GR+5 key combination, but this does not seem be working : under xterm, the Alt-Gr+key combination gives the same result as the Alt+key combination) I kept the /etc tree from the previous 4.3-Stable version : could the key table be corrupted ? > > Lawrence Farr > EPC Direct Limited > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Matthew Dillon > > Sent: 10 November 2001 07:18 > > To: Galen Sampson > > Cc: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: Re: KDE init [was RE: DCOP server problem...] > > > > > > > > : > > :Hello all, > > : I have seen quite a few posts in here about problems with > > KDE.
