One of the chains is rust (lang/rust) -> spidermonkey91 (devel/spidermonkey91) -> gjs (x11/gnome/gjs) -> glade (devel/glade) -> libxfce4ui (x11/xfce4/libxfce4ui) -> xfce4-terminal (x11/xfce4/terminal). We have no rust, so no xfce4-terminal. NetBSD, Void Linux PPC, and Adélie Linux have rust in their lists of powerpc packages. > Version of OpenBSD is 7.1 > > Mac I’m running is my iMac G3 500 MHz > > I’d also like to thank those involved in keeping this Mac working > with a GUI of some sort… Linux has not been kind to our G3’s… XOrg > seems to be way more forgiving on OpenBSD than Debian Ports (in fact > it doesn’t find the CRT 😫on Linux despite the CRT is usable for a > console session). Good. Your iMac probably has ATI RAGE 128 graphics. Matthieu Herrb committed a newer version of xf86-video-r128 in 2021, which works well with my Cube G4 (but OpenGL is broken; glxgears crashes). In 2019, I briefly installed NetBSD and Void onto a PowerPC Mac, but never started Xorg. I had trouble with both installers. (NetBSD didn't install normally; I escaped to a shell to partition my disk, then told the installer to extract sets. Linux had a broken tool for partitioning the disk.) I can install OpenBSD in the normal way, and say yes to xenodm in the installer. I have no xfce4-terminal, so I use xterm. --George
