Hi, The commit of ports/78678 to update to blackbox-0.70 seems to cause some problems. uname -a: FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #0: Tue Jan 25 13:27:59 EST 2005 Here is my present blackbox and associated ports versions: blackbox-0.70.0 A small and fast window manager for X11R6 boxtools-0.65.0 Style tools for the blackbox family of window managers bbconf-1.10 Configurator for the Blackbox window manager bbkeys-0.8.6 A keygrabber for the Blackbox window manager bbpager-0.3.1 A pager for the Blackbox window manager bbrun-1.6_3 A Run box for Blackbox bbpager won't start and errors with cannot connect to window manager. bbkeys will start but the key bindings will not work. Mplayer will only display the top half of a video at full screen for _some_ video codecs. These worked fine in the old blackbox and still work fine using fluxbox. These were all working fine before the update. I've tried bbpager and bbkeys in fluxbox and they work fine there. I'm suspecting that the update to blackbox-0.70 requires that some of the associated tools also need to be updated. Although that doesn't explain the behavior of mplayer. I also found a reference to a blackbox update on the freebsd-ports mailing list: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20050310065239.GF76038 in which Andrew Caines said that bbpager-0.3.1 will not work with blackbox-0.70. If this is indeed the case, perhaps the blackbox update should be backed out until the companion ports are ready to be committed. I can supply any addtional information if needed or test patches. Thanks, Randy
