I have, and generally it runs ok, if it wasn't for the terminal problems. I wouldn't bother otherwise, if wasn't such a great and addictive game! I even contacted the author suggesting I could produce a FreeBSD binary (he doesn't distribute the source), but he apparently wasn't interested. So I figured maybe anyone here has experience with running programs designed for linux console on FreeBSD. I'm assuming the binary is compiled with ncurses, since it uses colors. Basically, the way I've gotten it working is playing with the TERM environment variable. So far, setting it to 'vt100' has been the best solution. The screen occasionally scrolls up a by a line, if something is printed on the last line, but generally it is most playable. 'xterm' also works, and doesn't have the scrolling problems, but some parts of the screen don't get updated properly. Recently I discovered that on linux consoles the TERM variable could be set to 'linux' and I tried that too.. voila! The game comes up in color, no scrolling, everything seems ok, except that the '@' character (people who play roguelikes should know what I'm talking about) isn't displayed properly, probably because it should be highlighted or something. Btw, the default 'cons25' is also recognized, but doesn't work at all. Other values for TERM produce an error message, 'foo':cannot open terminal. I'm running 2.2.5-RELEASE, linux_lib-2.4, and the adom binary is in linux-elf format, if this information is of any use. TIA, Priit.

It's the XSuSE_NVidia I had to use it, because at the time i bought my new Graphics- Card, it was the one and only X which supported it. To manage this, i had to make some minor adjustments to the linux-emulation. Now, don't get too happy.... there are some restrictions: - works only with PS/2- mice. - doesn't allow to switch the console, while the X is running - the console-keyboard may be corrupted after the X was running. - no keyboard-LEDs - no beep but i'm using it anyway, because it gives me 1600x1200 pixels ;) How can i merge this stuff into the current? I'm running 3.0-971215-SNAP Should is skip to the newest snap-shot first? so long, Armin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Thu May 7 01:25:27 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA06980 for freebsd-emulation-outgoing; Thu, 7 May 1998 01:25:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from time.cdrom.com (root@time.cdrom.com [204.216.27.226]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA06966 for ; Thu, 7 May 1998 01:25:23 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jkh@time.cdrom.com) Received: from time.cdrom.com (jkh@localhost.cdrom.com [127.0.0.1]) by time.cdrom.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id BAA29513; Thu, 7 May 1998 01:25:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jkh@time.cdrom.com) To: Armin Arh cc: freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Linux-X In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 07 May 1998 09:34:41 +0200." <199805070734.JAA00331@meta.sub.org> Date: Thu, 07 May 1998 01:25:02 -0700 Message-ID: <29510.894529502@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K.

Sounds interesting - can you submit the diffs to send-pr(1) as described in the Handbook (in the "how to contribute" section)? Thanks!
