Re: What did you guys break with Xenocara??
Since you don't provides logs and just yell I'll assume that this was done on m68k using last weeks xenocara on last months userland and last years kernel. Based on your setup I can conclude that you are running out of sync and therefore your fix is to update everything using source (just to make sure).

Re: What did you guys break with Xenocara??
Works fine here on the fresh installation of 4.2 release. I think, I had to set correct device node in preferences but that was it. I personally like the best Ogle as a DVD player. You may also use MPlayer. Did you clean .vlc after the rebuilt? I'm aware of this.. I've used vlc for both video files an DVD's before errata #6 I don't like Ogle or the other one previously recommended... or Mplayer. If you read my emails, You would see that tried removing all my .vlc files.. I don't think that is an issue. Unless it's required to rebuild all packages after patching Xorg? If that's so... It would have been nice to inform people. -Nix Fan.
Re: What did you guys break with Xenocara??
After a thought provoking email from Ian Darwin and a few good hours to cool off, I would like to apologize for my behaviour.. I'll put more thought into further posts I make to the list. Take care. -Nix Fan.

It has been said that there is not enough developer power many times before. Why don't you collect a team of developers willing to backport? You will probably find that *most* (not all) ports will work just fine from -current. -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
