Hi all,

I've built it through, and most of the stuff works for me.

Before updating, you will have to remove /usr/X11R6 in its entirety,
as I've reverted from "cloning OpenBSD behaviour" (in this case, bumping
the shared library majors because of ProPolice) to "principle of least
diffs against the vendor".

There's still some 300-400 KiB worth of unified diff, however some of
that is only a "pleasure diff" (e.g. linking freetype2 against the
system libz, and exporting the system libz's symbols in the XF86 loader
to the module), and most other stuff is taken from OpenBSD (wsfb, wscons,
wsmouse, wskbd stuff) where I don't know if it's still needed.

Anyway, that's a "works for me" and the next development snapshot will
be published with XFree86(tm) 4.5.0, and of course all required
advertising clauses are reproduced in the documentation *wink*

That makes us second to only Fink in adopting, as far as I know, by the way.

I've got some minor problems still:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/tg $ glxgears
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for local
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for local/odem.66h.42h.de:0
Error: couldn't open display (null)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/tg $ print $DISPLAY
:0.0

and of course the old apps such as mplayer don't work since they
were linked against the old libs with higher shlib versions I
just deleted, but the M*zilla(tee emm) Firef*x(tee emm) runs just
fine in the OpenBSD binary emulation.

To the XFree86 list:
* feel free to list MirOS as a supporting project, as it was last release
* do you have any idea regarding the above error? IPv6, maybe?
  consider MirOS a clone of OpenBSD for most aspects.

bye,

Wir haben uns[...] geeinigt, dass das verwendete Echtzeit-Betriebssystem[...]
weil selbst einfachste Operationen *echt* *Zeit* brauchen.      (aus d.a.s.r)
