Hi,

A few days ago, BCray@SARCOM.COM wrote asking how well linux emulation works
under FreeBSD.  Later, in responce,  Alfred Perlstein wrote:

Well,  I actually have a problem.  First of all, I'm wondering if linux_base
for FreeBSD emulates glibc as well as libc5.  That I am not sure.

Anyways, I tried downloading snes9x 1.33a for Linux glibc and I can't get it
working.  For those who don't know,
it's an SNES emulator which can run under x11.  The X window loads up and
everything, the text which is displayed to the console appears, but nothing
happens after that (blank black window).

And, for regular linux programs that use libvga.so, the only way I can fool
them to thinking it's a linux native is by creating symbolic links to
/usr/lib/libvga.so.1 from /compat/linux/......./libvga.so.  Is there another
way to do this?  brandelfing to linux doesn't seem to help.

Thanks you guys!

PS - If you have the time, please download a tarball of it from
www.snes9x.com if you feel your linux emulation is fully functional.  Thanks
again
