On my clean builds, artsd worked at startup using startx. I used your KDE-2 mega (requires too long for a meta :) ) port makefile to build everything. At least I had system sounds. It was only a problem where I had mixes of qt's and KDE's. Loging out also works. I don't used KDE's kmedia to play anything like wav's or mp3's. When I tried, the HD would churn awhile and then stop. It seemed to crash cleanly because I could still log out and back in. I have a kscd running on one system. I grabbed scsiio.h from the Attic and saved it in /usr/include/sys. You could then gmake and gmake install kscd. Until then, kdemultimedia2 doesn't build properly. I found that a bug report was filed at KDE.org on kscd not building. Scsiio.h was deleted around 9 October. When you cvsup'ed stable after that, the file was deleted. The Makefile doesn't stop on the make error building kscd and you think you have a fully funtional, working kdemultimedia2. I don't have a scsi CDROM and adding an ancient scsiio.h didn't matter. When you do this, you have icons for everything but the arts control panel. I haven't looked to see how much work converting /usr/ports/audio/kdemultimedia2/work/kdemultimedia-2.0/kscd/libwm/plat_freebsd.c to cam would be. Following -hackers, it always seems to be quite an effort. On this computer, which is running W2K right now, kscd will crash when invoked. Both systems were clean builds but something is different. It also isn't an ordinary CDROM but a DVD, which may use some of the scsiio functions. I got to thinking while I was writing this that I need to make clean and reinstall kdemultmedia2. If that stops the crashing of kscd, I'll let you know. Rebuilding it on the other computer didn't help as far as playing *.wav's was concerned and don't see any reason for hope on this machine. I captured the build output and it detects the MMX and the next part of the build sets it up so that it doesn't build the mpeglib. I don't know if that has anything to do with not being able to play audio files. It was just something that grabbed my eye as I was paging through the build output. I have been known to <ctrl><alt><f3>, login as root, and do a "shutdown now" to log out of KDE-1. That is one of the reasons I upgraded to KDE-2. If it was broken, I had a chance that it would be fixed on KDE-2. So far I haven't had to do a shutdown logout with KDE-2.
