Drivers of DF
I am interested in architecture of DF and it's driver compatibility. So I HAVE TO ask stupid questions... ;-) Are driver binaries of older versions of DF kernels compatible to newer versions? -- Tero Mäntyvaara

Re: fonts problem
Add some font pathes to emul/linux/etc/fontconfig/local.conf and/or fonts.conf (the former more correct, the latter easier) Joerg I only have local.conf.instsys in /usr/pkg/emul/linux/etc/fonts. And that says: !-- Special setup used only during the installation of SuSE Linux. During installation, this file is moved to local.conf, otherwise it is not used. -- And how do I know what font pathes I should use?
Re: Drivers of DF
So driver have to be modified for every new release, possibly two times per year? Isn't this a problem? How long a release is bug-fixed? Until new release?

Re: wiki log of #dragonfly irc channel
:It was coming from Andreas Hauser's IRC bot, which he has taken out of :commission. We're moving the wiki to sit on leaf, and a new logging bot :would have to sit on leaf to reinstate that log there. I have no :experience in setting up something like that. (It's Matt's call if he :even wants to have an IRC bot on the system.) If someone else could :provide a running log, it'd be helpful. I am not particularly fond of running IRC bots or servers. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For the last 2 days I have not received any mail from the mailing lists. Is there a problem or is it on my end? Bryan

At first, they couldn't find any fonts file, so I copied those from NetBSD and put them in /etc/fonts/, but had same problem. BTW, on NetBSD both OpenOffice.org 2.1 and RealPlayer work fine. Then I found hints on the net telling they should be put in ~/, so I copied them to ~/.fonts.conf and ~/.fonts.dtd. Now realplayergold does start, but after some time it crashes with a core dump (realplayergold.bin.core). OpenOffice.org starts with the initiating logo, and that's it. The logo stays on screen, and nothing happens. If I e.g. start swriter, with 'ps ax' I can see there are 6 of the same processes of swriter. If I start swriter by hand in a terminal, crtl-c ends the startup, but not the processes. I have to kill those by 'kill -9' Do I miss something? Thanks, Huub Make a .fonts directory in your home directory and add some fonts to it. If you have a windows xp system you could copy the fonts. Then you need to run these commands # mkfontscale /home/your ~ directory/.fonts # mkfontdir /home/your ~ directory/.fonts # fc-cache -v /home/your ~ directory/.fonts Good luck -- Ezra Drummond [EMAIL PROTECTED]
