Sorry folks, I was to quick in posting. Here are the details: I've installed from what is (was) today on snapshots on ftp server. Then I used the same ftp snapshot mirror for packages. That's all, no CVS, no compile, just plain install from what is (was) on snapshots - base & packages. This was after a long pause of using OpenBSD as a desktop, I was using it only as a router. I had to do this to give a try to Ubuntu, but I was disappointed with it and came back to old and stable stuff. I did the same install like in the old times, get the snapshot and go. First, my ATI HD4350 refused to startx, effectively putting my display in some unusable state: I had to remove power from display to get it back online. I searched the archive and found out that Xorg became a "joke" since Intel put some code in it. Too sad. Then I got the messages about symbol size mismatch. I've installed empathy but got some strange messages like Cannot execute the script ... (not a manual?) and empathy refused to start being unable to load some lib.so files. Now I replaced the ATI HD4350 with ATI X1650 and managed to get X working. Are there new things in snapshot which I don't know ? Should I wait for another compile of packages, to have a date close to the base compile time ? If X is so crappy, is there another thing to use ?
Many thanks.
