Running the binary in FreeBSD gives some trouble... I've come to the point where it keeps asking for the CD to be mounted even when I've mounted the CD almost everywhere, including copying the contents to /usr/compat/linux/cdrom and run the binary in a chroot'ed linux bash shell. Anyway, in RH 6.1 it runs fine (but I didn't succeed yet in getting my voodoo2 card to work in Linux... it works well in FreeBSD 4.0 on the same machine with the exact same rpm...). Also, I installed libmikmod in /usr/compat/linux so now I have music in ut :-). Would it be useful that I write some notes about it so it can be added to the above mentioned ut-page? How about the patching? People without a Linux distro are in trouble. An option is to redistribute the patched files in some form (would need Loki permission I guess?) or to keep trying to hack the Linux patch binary some more... BTW, patching from 4.00 to 4.13 can be done quite easily in FreeBSD, but this step is not needed for 4.00 -> 4.25. A cool thing about 4.25 is that it supports OpenGL, so it should work on a wider variety of cards than the 4.00 version (only 3dfx). I didn't try yet, but I think that I'll give it a shot with my G200. Regards, Karel. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
