Hello All; Thought i would post my setup here, seeing as there has been much talk recently on this topic. I'm running 4.2-Stable from Dec 30th, XFree86-4, QT-2.2.3_3 and KDE2. XFree86-4: With X, i have been playing around a bit, I actually cvsup'd the lastest "STABLE" from XFree86.org yesturday, but this applies to what is in the ports also, as thsi was my setup before cvs's XFree86, with everything working just fine. "cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4" && "make extract" cvsup XFree86-STABLE directly into "work/xc" (if you cvsup before doing make, it will delete everything first, then extract the X402src-2.tgz archives ) After the cvsup is finished, I ran "make" as per normal and all patches, including the "thread patch" applied cleanly, and the compile completed as expected with no errors. "pkg_delete -f XFree86-4.0.2_3" && "make install" You can find instructions for cvsup' XFree86 here: http://www.xfree86.org/cvs This worked for me with yesturday's "XFree86-STABLE" but I have no idea if future STABLE's will be as cooperative in the future do too inevitable changes and fixes, but it is always fun too try :) QT-2.2.3_3: Glad too see the patch for opengl now, in reference too Jeremy Shaffner's post earlier, this was how I had built QT after a hint from Jeremy, with QT and KDE finally compiling and running with no problems. So QT was compiled directly from ports, "pkg_delete -f QT-2.2.3_?" and "make install" with no problems. The same with all the KDE ports. (I compile them seperately following the sequence in KDE2 Meta port Makefile, My preference, this way after kdesupport and libs, you can compile as many sub-ports as your machine can handle, I do 3 at a time, seems to get done faster) 1\ kdesupport- "pkg_delete -f kdesupport..." "make install" 2\ kdelibs "pkg_delete -f kdelibs..." "make install" kdebase, kdegames, kdeutils, etc, etc for the "sub kde ports" I also "pkg_delete -f" them in reverse order as installed, they tend to delete more cleanly than doing them out of order. As for Glenn Johnson's inquiry as too anti-aliasing, the support comes from QT, and is already supported in QT-2.2.3, I can attest that KDE pick's it up just wanderfully :) Mind you, you do have to set up X itself to properly use TT fonts, a quick guide can be found here: http://xfree86.org/~keithp/render It contains info on rendering in X and also a link too setup TrueType fonts. So KDE is all setup again here and everythings working just peachy, one issue though that i have noticed is in "top" it shows at present 35 kdeinit's loaded up, I dont know what's up with this, but KDE is functioning just fine on this end. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this? Anyways, I dont think I have missed anything, but if I have feel free to point them out. If more info is required you can email me directly or the list, as I browse it everyday.
