Jumping in a bit late. I have had a goal of FreeBSD on a slate/tablet
computer for roughly ten years. The comments in this thread echo my
experience. Put simply, the primary focus of FreeBSD has been as a server.
The Gnome team has worked hard to bring the OS to the desktop, with limited
success.
Newton, and buttons for a chording keyboard along the bottom on both sides.
Buttons support two handed use or one handed, either side. For those who
prefer classic keyboard, plug in a USB model.
So much of what I want just isn't there. But it is possible.

This is the kind of service that is all too often lacking these days. Thank
you, whoever you were, for doing such a great job. Makes me proud to be
associated with FreeBSD ... have been since 2.x.

After using Gnome for awhile I am giving Enlightenment a try. Loved it many
years ago but it consumed a lot of resources, the current version does not
appear to have that limitation.
What other ports do Enlightenment fans recommend to extend its
functionality? I have the gimp, Abi Word, Lyx, and B

less hibernate, so I am happy to
leave those disabled. I am trying to use xdm rather than gdm or kdm,
and lacking Power Off and Reboot on the system menu makes these tasks
awkward.

Good idea. Thanks. I'm there now on my cell (AndroIRC, recommended)
and no response. I'll hang out awhile. My handle is gd808mobile in
case anyone wants to hook up.
Not exactly an answer to your question, but I use the batch flag to bypass
configuration menus. If you have one or two ports you do not install with
default settings, you can go back and install manually.

A simple way to enable three button mouse emulation is to put
mouse_flags=-3
in /etc/rc.conf. I cannot find this documented anywhere. Section 4.5 of the
faq mentions this feature and refers to the moused man page, where we are
told to pass -3 to moused. Similar treatment in the handbook. Section

Perhaps you would be happier at an Apple Store.
I lost you at documentation. Obviously you have not read the handbook, or one
of the excellent books -- Absolute BSD for example.

may be as simple as an x11-drivers/xf86-input-fujitsu-usb-touchscreen

similar USB touchscreen?
Great tip. I had no idea those drivers were there. I will

The tun0 appears in ifconfig /all but with no tcp/ip settings.
In Windows 7 the tunnel interface gets 192.168.9.2, work gateway and dhcp at

I suspect /etc/ppp/ppp.conf network settings, on the 10.10.0 network.
