Just finished compiling on FreeBSD 7.1 and have found the following problem=
s:
 1. The fonts are not being anti-aliased?  (Using default fonts and "Use=20
anti-aliasing: Enabled {with sub-pixel rendering [RGB]}).
 2. Network Settings doesn't detect anything to do with FreeBSD (it probabl=
y=20
still needs to be told about FreeBSD). =20
 3. ksudo does not install?
 4. Samba config module doesn't find smb.conf by default.  It should look i=
n=20
multiple places?
 5. When I was changing desktop effects X froze. It was a once off thing...

Items 1,2, 4, (5) probably qualify for a PR, can anyone confirm these?

Item 3 probably has something to do with our ports.  I really prefer to use=
=20
(k)sudo (since ksu doesn't like root without a password).  Item 4 should be=
=20
fixed with a patch (until upstream comes with a proper solution). =20

If you wait a few hours I'll see what I can do about providing patches for=
=20
items 3, 4.

I'll try compile hald with USB2.  If that doesn't work (i.e. starts taking=
=20
100% CPU on a core) then I will not persue the issue.  I'm not sure ports h=
as=20
been converted to handle the base system's libusb20 in -current?

Oh and I am still having problems with HTTPS and proxy.  I am going to try =

up a Squid proxy and see if Squid behaves better then WinGate.  And I am=20
hoping Qt 4.5 will fix this proxy/socks problem (if it will hurry up and ge=
t=20
released :-)).=20

Everything else is looking good :-) and working on the FreeBSD side. =20

Thanks

David

P.S. Any hope in getting Amarok 2 into ports with KDE 4.2.  Last I saw it w=
as=20
pending on a PR to fix mysql_embedded?
