I however have this strange desire to > use USB2 (the new USB stack introduced to FreeBSD-Current). 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. > Is KDE4 happy with USB2 (or to be more precise, is hald happy with USB2 > yet)? 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 = put=20 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? --nextPart1378125.jRDUimTAKj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkmH5LIACgkQUaaFgP9pFrJmpwCeM5MWA74IrmrFhdHpt/eVclBr oT0AoIhORpoYGJ32wPe0M9W9dqEIBenH =oJIT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1378125.jRDUimTAKj--
