Yeap, works for me as well, but I did have some issues with other apps. system: fresh install of 8-STABLE on 3/12; amd64 with nVidia binary blob drivers. linux compat not installed and using the nVidia AGP connector. xorg itself built flawlessly and xdm installed and worked fine at the login screen. However, xfce4 would crash, after doing the "login" animation, and coredump. Disabling xdm and using startx did the same. I had Composite enabled and a few other tweaks that are composite / 3d accel related in xorg.conf. After disabling this and rebooting I was able to login into XFCE4. However, after re-enabling it and rebooting I was still able to log into XFCE4. However, starting an xterm would crash XFCE4. The XFCE4 terminal app worked fine, but xterm would crash it. I disabled Composite again, rebooted, and now xterm and everything else seems to work okay. If anyone wants a copy of my xorg.conf or any other logs, let me know. Kudos though. I'm sure once the freeze is up it will all iron out. Thanks. henrik -- Henrik Hudson li...@rhavenn.net - "God, root, what is difference?"

Possibly unbuildable ports reminder
Dear porters, This is just a reminder to please periodically check the list of unbuildable ports at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ . A list by MAINTAINER is http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/errorlogs/ so you can easily check the status of ports that you maintain. In addition, the list of ports with no MAINTAINER with build problems is http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/errorlogs/po...@freebsd.org.html Since no one is responsible for these ports, the problem won't get fixed unless someone on this list takes the initiative. Thanks for your help!

Existing xorg.conf specified EXA. With Intel 2.7, xfce4 showed no icons and would reliably signal 11 by choosing Settings/Appearance/Fonts, the point size, and then the scroll up button. With UXA, it works. Composite works with both 2.7 and 2.9, but all screen updates are pretty slow. With composite disabled in xfce4's Window Manager Tweaks/Compositor/Enable Display compositing, xfce4 is usable.

About ports QA by 'port test'
Recently I've been trying to run some additional tests during updating the ports I have installed on my computer. That means I select a number of oldest installed ports (using dates of directories in /var/db/pkg/), and for each of them run 'port test' (ports-mgmt/porttools) and then 'portupgrade -f'. FYI, the 'port test' uses portlint, builds in a different place, installs into a different place, packages, then de-installs and checks for left files. No jail, no chroot. From what I have seen till now, about 25% of the ports do not pass the test, either for fatal errors from portlint or due to errors exhibited because of PREFIX and PKG_DBDIR variables. And this is done only for the ports I have successfully installed on my system for some reason not connected to the QA purposes. I do not want to trouble the port maintainers with direct e-mails. I've been posting the results (and the original description I'm modifying now) to freebsd-qa@ for a while, but that turned out to be of some burden and also I received there no feedback at all. Therefore I set a webpage at my day-job where I will copy the results. I hope I will not need to keep the site for long, if running 'port test' is found useful, it should be added into QAT or tinderbox, I think. Though without jail it is faster I guess. The URL: http://kemia.me.tut.fi/~chu/FreeBSD.port_tests/ Current statistics: Ports having fatal errors: 109 (21 %) Ports having warnings: 216 (43 %) Ports without fatal errors:391 (78 %) Ports having warnings or fatal errors: 325 (65 %) Totally tested ports: 500 Additionally to the above stats, java/jdk16 is interactive and hangs on input despite of BATCH=yes in /etc/make.conf. -- Vladimir Chukharev Tampere University of Technology ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

He was talking about the 2.9.1 version of the 'intel' driver, which I tested. All my other testing has been with the 'vesa' driver which works with startx, but not with startxfce4.

I spent a little time playing with the 2.9.1 driver on my g45 today. Basically... It is horrid... When Intel chose to remove all non-GEM support for the 2.8 series driver, what is actually going on is that it is calling into libdrm_intel's fake buffer manager and doing ton's of memcpy's. It seems to be sort of ok as long as it is just basic 2d, but enable composite in metacity and it falls on it's face... Granted all of my machines run with WITNESS and INVARIANTS, but you can almost count the pixels as they are drawn... I was thinking that Intel had actually killed the fake buffer manager as well, but it looks like it does still exist in libdrm git. Perhaps it was that they removed it from mesa. At any rate, they don't deny that it is broken, nor do they test it or have any intention of fixing it... The only reason for using the 2.9.1 driver that I can think of is if you have an Ironlake chipset, which isn't supported in 2.7.1. I now have to decide whether to spend time back porting Ironlake support to 2.7.1 or spend time on GEM. robert. > http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/xorg7.5/grab.png > > -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA > ___ > freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" -- Robert Noland FreeBSD ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
