** Reply to message from Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 07 Mar 2003 08:57:25 -0800 Is it necessary to deinstall XFree86 4.2 before installing the 4.3 patches? It should work just fine, as long as you have both of the patches. I ended up having to run pkg_delete on all of the 4.2 XFree-86 packages before I was able to build 4.3. But I suppose that could be because I don't know the right way to install an update. Here's what I did: 1) Download both patch files. 2) Run the -11 patch from /usr/ports. 3) Run the make patch from the /usr/ports/Mk. 4) Run 'make' from /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. The only thing that resulted from step 4 was a few console messages indicating that everything was already done. 5) Run 'make clean' from /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. 6) Run 'make' again. Same thing. 7) Run pkg_delete on all XFree86 packages found using 'ls -l /var/db/pkg/XF*' (I had to use -f on one of them). 8) Run 'make' again. This time, things started building. 9) Run 'make install'. Which finished building everything and installed everything. 10) Run 'xf86config'. 11) Run 'startx'. Success! Most imporantly, I can use the mouse again (with 4.2, any movement of the mouse caused the mouse cursor to disappear off the bottom of the screen). I use cvsup to update both ports and source and the last time I ran cvsup in ports was a day or two ago, which is why I was able to use the -11 patch. Would the build and installation have worked properly if I had simply run 'make install' instead of 'make' in step 4?

It would have made sure that the component parts were installed. The ports system can't ensure things are updated, though, so you need to use a tool like portupgrade to make sure that everything is updated. -- Eric Anholt[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

The achievement in integrating Xfree86 v4.3.x in the release of FBSD v4.8 will be admirable. I've been looking at it as of this week as well as KDE v3.1 and Gnome v2.2 on various platforms. There are some issues, but its in the integrating between the desktop environments (KDE vs Xfree86) and not FreeBSD specific. I'm reviewing the quality of the builds/ports of KDE 3.1 and Gnome 2.2 integration with Xfree86 v 4.3.x. I'll be glad to look into this on FreeBSD for QA testing. ~Ken - Original Message - From: Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ken Mays [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Igor Pokrovsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jose M.

Re: Is XFree86 4.3.0 going to be in 4.8? -nt-
At this point, I'd guess probably not, given that there was (is?) some amount of work for the MAINTAINER to do to get it to build correctly, and there's not much chance for testing before the release, which is only two weeks away. That's just my guess, though, not a policy statement. :-) Bruce. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
