If you go to /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4, you can build X 4.2.1 from source
that way and it should work fine. That's how I build X on my laptop running
FreeBSD-current.

Slightly off the subject... I wonder, if anybody else running X on FreeBSD encounters coredumps of X applications trying to use XIM??

Either QT-based or GTK-based, apps walk into ...something...InstatiateCallback from XLib and fail when Xlib tries to call function (supposed to be somewhere in app code, I think) by pointer. I'm not at all expert in debugging with gdb, so I just made a hack of this function in lib/X11 (attached) to permanently "fail".

Everything work fine now (Opera/FreeBSD included). But what was happening?


I use now FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE and XFree86 4.2.1 from the packages directory on disk #1.
Same issue with all combinations of FreeBSD 4.6.* and with 4.2.0/4.2.1 either from ports or built manually. I'm not sure about FreeBSD 4.4/4.5. Is my hardware essential? (I remember having this problem at least on two completely different HW configurations)
