Now my cube is happily running FreeBSD with X and XFCE 4. I have tried already to compile firefox, and managed to have it compile successfully, using netbsd and linux stuff (netbsd doesn't use g++3 name mangling for assembly stubs). The result is... it starts, then dies... so the next question is, any progress with gdb? it is almost impossible to determine what's going on without a debugger... :-) While I was at it, I compiled more than 200 ports successfully, including the QT framework (and it works!!). Since the cube doesn't have internal audio, I managed to make usb audio work... and it works like a charm! (I limited myself to comment out sndbuf_xxx calls in pcm/channel.c to get sound.ko don't complain about missing symbols heh). Thanks really for the good work! Ciao Orlando
