Volari and potential FreeBSD driver
Good morning FreeBSD, I just received an email from XGI, with respect to new Linux Drivers for their graphics cards. I am currently trying to find out if they will support FreeBSD in Linux Binary Compatibility mode or do a native port. At present, I am awaiting to hear back from XGI. FYI: www.xgitech.com http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5078 I just received feedback from XGI and was advised that they will be opening up the source code for the drivers. Hi we will open the source code for public to porting it to other OS. I wonder anyone would be interesting in maintaining Volari source code? Sorry about the posting to multiple mailing lists. Any advice on the appropriate contacts? Would this better be served on an X11 or Hardware mailing list? Or on XFree? Pete = ESCape with VI. Cheese A La mode. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The command below will build a skeleton file. XFree86 -configure Step 2: copy the file to /etc/X11 and remove the .new extension. cp XF86Config.new /etc/X11/XF86Config Then either go into /stand/sysinstall and do a post configuration setup. Select X server and use ncurses based interface to edit your monitor and keyboard settings. Double check all the settings to make sure they are correct. Instead of going into /stand/sysinstall you could actually use: xf86cfg --textmode which is the same ncurses based installer. The advantage for myself is that almost all possible tweaks and settings are set inside the file for tuning at a later date. You can go and use the same ncurses installer via /stand/sysinstall but it wont add all the settings. Just my 2 cents worth, hope it helps. Pete = ESCape with VI. Cheese A La mode. __ Do you Yahoo!?

I'm temptated of destroying the whole X system now. The problem with FreeBSD, unlike with Linux, was that Nautilus 1.x didn't work in any way. Before throwing in the towel, I'll downgrade to KDE 2.x, and I'll wait the solution for Nautilus. I thank who will send me a solution to start the Nautilus 1.x, to have at least a decent desktop for a pair of production workstations, dedicated to store music files. I have tried and retried, but the result is always the same: there is no common style under GTK 2.x and KDE 3.x. There is no style matching GNUstep, there aren't customizable windowmanagers any more.

Re: whereis fails
I am not 100 percent sure but if memory serves; the man pages are a port by themselves (for xfree), at which point they get installed separately. Those ports should be on disc 1. You can use /stand/sysintall to get back into those ports. My second thought is building/rebuilding the locate database. The files are located here: /var/db/locate.database locate database /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb Script to update the locate database /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate Script that starts the database rebuild More info can be found by checking the man page.
