Hi, I am using OpenBSD 4.0 as a desktop and I must say everything is runnig much better than I expected. For instance, the hotkeys are per default enabled and recognised and working fine (volume up, down, mute, etc)!
However there are so far only two things that annoy me 1- The web pages fonts are not antialiased, so that they look ugly. Firefox itself is looking fine, as all gtk applications, they are antialiased but the content, what you see below the upper pannel, is looking "ugly" I have googled a bit but I only find references to firefox 2.0 and I am using 1.5.0.5 2- The gnome-terminal tabs cannot be dragged, they are fixed. I know this can seem to be a minor issue, but I am used to work with some ~8 tabs open and sometimes it is very nice to be able to drag the last one to be the 2nd one etc etc I guess this is a feature of gnome-terminal 2.10 The other *nix system I am using is fedora 4 and ubuntu dapper and in both of them they are "draggable" I have looked in the ports but the version was also 2.10... well, I guess I have to live with that and wait for OpenBSD 4...4? sigh... 3- Is there a way to use colours with "ls"? I have looked at the man page and found nothing re colour. 4- How can I change the default idiom of the gnome desktop? In Linux I would just go into vi /etc/profile and then add the line export [EMAIL PROTECTED] Btw I only have ca_ES.ISO8859-15 and ca_ES.ISO8859-1! What about UFT-8?? Another problem I encountered was when doing "locate filename" this error was returned: locate: database too small: /var/db/locate.database. I deleted locate.database (under /var/db/). Then I did ./locate.updatedb which is located in /usr/libexec. Works fine now. I know these are newbie questions... but this is called OpenBSD newbies, right? I am just trying to find out whether I can "survive" with OpenBSD as my main desktop or not At least I didn't ask "HELP! HOW CAN I INSTALL BERYL/AIXGL IN OPENBSD????" ;) thanks!
