hi all, I am not familiar with Freebsd, I installed 8.0-release, it had been working well. I read one post that USB webcam could be used in Freebsd 8.0 so I tried to install multimedia/webcamd, multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod from the port. It also upgraded jpeg from 7.0 to 8.0 and a lot of dependency ports. when I rebooted my pc, gdm background picture was missing, the background was in GREEN, and gimageview could not show pictures. I deinstalled jpeg8 and reinstalled jpeg7, then the gdm background picture/gimageview were good.
then I tried to install multimedia/pwcview , it compiled from ports, but failed when tried to install gtk2.20 (I remember), it has upgraded some lib/ports which I had no idea of. I can not tell which ports have been upgraded while I tried to install pwcview. then reboot machine, gdm background picture was missing, all background was in GREEN. when I log in, gimageview works well, and other softwares such as firefox/putty, all were good except rox-filer, (I was using fvwm-crystal) when I opened rox-filer, all files/directories were displayed as red exclamation mark, all files/directories. when I click on it, it still worked, if I clicked on avi files, it will be open in gmplayer, that was good. 1. files/directories in rox-filer are all red exclamation mark. 2. gdm login background picture missing, all in green (the orginal picture was a green leaf) 3. in gdm login window, it also shows red-cross mark where it should be a host picture. So I think it might be that I upgraded some dependency ports/libraries or whatever by accident, but I can not tell which one. Any suggestion on steps to solve the problem? Thank you very much.
