two monitors, two displays, one PC
In the last 4 months I bought a new monitor to replace the one that clunked out in me. I am currently using it with an old PS2 type keyboard and mouse attached to a creaky old desktop that will eventually be replaced. Likely I will want to replace it with a laptop with wifi and a lot more memory and hard drive so that I can take it with me. Can I still use the old monitor as a second display? Can this be done? Is it done? What are the issues? -- -- Real name: John L Wynstra -- Apartment 9G 43-10 Kissena Blvd Flushing, N.Y. 11355 -- (347) 813-0910 [cell] (718) 939-9785 [land] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: another problem
The *portsnap fetch extract* seems to have failed. I do *pkg_version -v* and openoffice-2 does not appear in the listing. Why not? Actually the previous /usr/ports tree came from a tar extract I took from the internet and not the installation CDROM. Should I clean out some INDEX files and redo this step or is that done automatically? I just now did another *portsnap fetch update* and openoffice.org was not listed among the new ports. Of course *pkg_version -v* gives me an incomplete listing. John Wynstra wrote: (1) How do I test the version number of this?

Re: another problem
And glib2 is part of Gnome? I never installed Gnome because I don't like Gnome. I tried to manually install /usr/ports/devel/gio-fam-backend and got the same error. Perhaps I need to get Gnome off the installation CDROM. I really only need the library stuff. Alternatively is there an Internet source for the missing Gnome libraries?

Re: another problem ...
I asked Jonathan Chen what was the easiest way to do this. Was it CSup? Also how do I check for the latest version? The manual indicates pkg_version -v does this, but it does not list all ports and in particular not the ones I am interested in which are in /usr/ports/editors. Is there a way to get these? Does one get all the ports at one shot which might be useful as I don't know where I am going wrong. Or just the one?

Thanks and another problem ...
Thanks for the solution to my Firefox/Thunderbird woes. All cured now. The answer was to add prefs to Thunderbird to allow Firefox in as suggested by Tore Lund. Since these preferences do not exist already they need to be added manually to a file. Now I am trying to build Open Office for access to word files. The make install dies at the point where the java files need to be manually installed. I did that but this version of Open Office requires older versions of java. How do I get older versions of tzupdater?

Firefox and Thunderbird annoyance in TWM
I have FreeBSD 7.0 running on a PC at home which was formerly running Windows XP until I couldn't stand it anymore. I had both of the latest Thunderbird and Firefox installed on it as my mail application and web browser. Unfortunately I am unemployed so I was in the habit of using Dice via Thunderbird which when I double clicked the job advertisements would bring up the appropriate Firefox window auto magically. This is now broken. I don't know why but it is annoying. I thought it might be the pointer follows mouse focus policy but I was wrong. That is the default focus policy under my window manager (twm). BTW I had thought I was running fvwm instead of twm but evidently I was wrong in selecting the location of one of the initialization files. I use startx to start X11. An odd thing is that if I double click within Firefox as for instance when I am managing my bookmarks file it will raise the screen selected. It is only when I double click from Thunderbird that this is broken. Once in a while an odd thing like when moving the mouse over one window will raise another in addition to changing focus. Another annoyance. -- John [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
