--FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline With the changes jake committed to CVS in the past few days, XFree86 is working on my ultra30 with stock CVS sources. I added the following options to my kernel: device sc device splash # optional option KBD_INSTALL_CDEV device creator device uart # Multi-uart driver device puc and then ran moused -t mousesystems -p /dev/uart3. vidcontrol -m also allows you to use the mouse from syscons, as on i386 (this was not previously working with jake's code). The XFree86-server package isn't currently available on the ftp sites because it failed to build on the last package run due to a gcc bug, but this is apparently fixed with gcc 3.3.3, and I hope to retry the build in the next few days. In the meantime, everything should compile successfully from ports as long as you have an up-to-date world. A few months ago I got GNOME and KDE working on this machine to the extent that I could test them, so unless there's been a regression they should still work out of the box. Mozilla and Firebird also run (but the last time I ran them natively there were bugs that seemed to be due to threading, which caused regular crashes during input and deadlocks loading multiple tabs). I use Windowmaker - the only issue I know of here is a RGB bug in libtiff that causes the R and B channels of the image to be exchanged. I fixed this at one point, but it seems to have crept back in. Applications that I know do not work: * Doom :( * Anything that uses SDL * mplayer (plays movies, but the color pallette is wrong) So there's work still to be done, but overall things are looking very good!
