How to not run xconsole with XDM

2006-07-23 Thread Lennon Cook
I have XDM set up, in the default way (by simply turning it to on in /etc/ttys). It runs xconsole to catch errors - however, I have a session manager set up, which catches output in a different way, so this xconsole is basically dead weight for me. But how do I stop it running every time? As it is

Abiword importers behaving oddly

2006-06-27 Thread Lennon Cook
I have Abiword compiled from the editors/abiword port, with plugins from the editors/abiword-plugins to (in addition to the default) import and export ODF and SXW. Unfortunately, the importers appear to not be working properly: they reliably loose metadata such as page orientation, and randomly lo

Installing a port into a different prefix

2006-05-18 Thread Lennon Cook
I am attempting to have two ports (java/kaffe and java/jdk15) installed side-by-side. This means installing one of them into a different prefix, because they both install several files with the same name (specifically, java{,c,h,doc} and possibly others). At this point, I would prefer to do this w

Problem with cordless mouse/Keyboard combo set

2006-05-05 Thread Lennon Cook
I am attempting to use my Omni cordless mouse and keyboard set - these both connect with the same receiver, which plugs into the computer with a single USB cable. The keyboard works fine - the mouse, however, does not work at all. It does not move the cursor, and clicks aren't registered. Testing
