Hi X11 People!
First of all, I have to thank you for your great job! Really thanks.
I'm testing Xorg 7.7 on FreeBSD 8.2 with NVidia Card.
I move from libglut to freeglut and recompiled everything.
I've found a couple of small issues:
1) flash player shows a colour mismatch: people are blue, cyan is
orange, red is purple, blue is red, and so on...
What can I try to investigate this problem?
2) I modified bsd.ports.mk in order to force other ports to use freeglut
_GL_glut_LIB_DEPENDS= glut.12:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/freeglut
I found this problem compiling graphics/jasper with openGL.
Best regards,
Luca
