Hi Since the xorg update my xfce4 desktop has become unusable. I always get the error message below. I even setup FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE from scratch, updated to 8.0-STABLE, installed xorg and xfce4 with default settings:
$ portinstall --batch /usr/ports/x11/xorg /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 Then I moved my homedir away to avoid any cruft in .config or wherever. Setup .ininitrc .session $ cat .xinitrc if [ -f ~/.xsession ]; then . ~/.xsession fi $ cat .xsession cd xset b off /usr/local/bin/numlockx exec sh /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc So now everything should be completely vanilla: skachelm...@valhalla:~ $ startx xauth: creating new authority file /home/skachelmann/.serverauth.7426 X.Org X Server 1.7.5 Release Date: 2010-02-16 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE amd64 Current Operating System: FreeBSD valhalla.local 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Fri May 7 20:43:11 CEST 2010 r...@valhalla.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 Build Date: 19 May 2010 12:50:03AM Current version of pixman: 0.16.6 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
