I've buyed their Motif and XServer hopping to learn Motif and see a 'Real X Server'. At least on my S3 board, XFree is faster, and *even* uses HW cursor. Their libraries are broken, mostly because of the utmp/wtmp changes, and on my 3.0 box, even editing the binary (yes, I did it, because it has a lot of hardcoded resources, and is not friendly to -xrm args). I never could get Xsetup -graphics to work, only Xsetup -text. It prints some messages that cannot load some font's and core-dumps. Also, in one of the latest CERT's I've read, it appears that Accel X uses a bug in *BSD to get write permission's in /dev/mem. When it is fixed, current versions of AccellX will not work anymore. I hope all the problems I had are because I don't want go back to 2.2.1, but will not use neither Motif neither AccellX. For me, it was a big loss of money/time (in Brazil you end's up paying over 200% of the product price, there is a lot of taxes, and here is 3rd. world, the per-capita is very smaller than in US). > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message -- Don't get suckered in by the comments -- they can be terribly misleading.
