Hi,
I'm trying to change XFree86 from 3.3.6 to 4.0.2.
OS is FreeBSD 4.2-stable, as of 29 January 2001.
I'm encountering the following problems so far:
1. Fvwm95-2.0.43a - Start/popup menus don't work (they worked
Just Fine in 3.3.6). I'm getting the following error
message in the log:
Fvwm-95: in function popup_func: <<ERROR>> No such menu StartMenu 4 -26
2. Netscape Communicator 4.76: Forward & backward navigation
key sequences don't work (alt+leftarrow/alt+rightarrow).
Alt+letter(s) (Reload, Close, New browser window) work
fine. In XFree86-3.3.6, the "windows-logo" key was working
as the "alt" key (& the forward & back arrows worked),
but in 4.0.2 we're back to the "real" alt-key. Note that
this is an a.out binary running on an ELF system, with
a.out libraries from XFree86-3.3.3. IIUC, Netscape does
its own keyboard mapping, but isn't there some way to
adjust or customize this? I can't find anything helpful
in Netscape's support-site.
The recent Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-01:07) mentions
that the BSD/OS ELF binary of Netscape works; where is that
available? It is not in ports/packages. (And do things
such as license terms allow its use on FreeBSD?)
3. I get the following message in the log, apparently when
changing between the X-desktop & a regular console:
(WW) fcntl(7, F_SETOWN): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Any suggestions as to how to fix these?
Naturally, FAQ, -doc & other resource pointers are quite welcome. :)
I've been searching archives at both FreeBSD & XFree86 and
have not yet found anything useful here. :-/
Many thanks,
-kc
