Is someone working on this or other desktop?
I use parts of this on my aged z60m.
Couldn't get any login manager to work well though.
Sadly, I lack the time to progress it much beyond using it.
dhcpcd-{gtk,qt} fits into the light desktop area quite well too.

X11 on Lenovo T430
Hi, I'm running netbsd-7 code on my new Lenovo T430 laptop. I'm using code from November 27 at the moment, with the DRM/KMS kernel, and there are a few glitches: 1) Sometimes the rendering of images e.g. in a web browser (firefox) is mangled / interlaced (not sure how to best describe it). Sometimes causing a re-paint fixes the glitch, sometimes it doesn't (by the looks of it). 2) Sometimes X11 appears to hang, and I get these messages in my kernel message buffer: drm: stuck on blitter ring drm: GPU HANG: ecode 2:0x87d0fff5, reason: Ring hung, action: reset drm: GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace. drm: Please file a _new_ bug report on bugs.freedesktop.org against DRI - DRM/Intel drm: drm/i915 developers can then reassign to the right component if it's not a kernel issue. drm: The gpu crash dump is required to analyze gpu hangs, so please always attach it. drm: GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error i915drmkms0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 16 (pci0@pci::00:02.0) drm: Enabling RC6 states: RC6 on, RC6p on, RC6pp off (There's no GPU crash dump that I can find anywhere...)

X11/DRI artifacts with Radeo HD 4650/RV730 Pro
Hi! After updating to 7.99.x with the new DRM code, I see black artifacts on the screen. These didn't happen with the old DRM code. I haven't found out how to trigger them, because there are phases when it works fine, and then there are phases where it happens on every second mouse move (redraw?). When I turn off acceleration, I haven't been able to reproduce them. The black shapes are sometimes rectangle, but also triangles or other patterns. Thomas

Turning accel off fixes it for me. 2) Sometimes X11 appears to hang, and I get these messages in my kernel message buffer: I have not seen that; most of the GPU hangs are fixed by the code resetting the card. christos

I do not have a GUI file network configurator, and I would like those.
What features does dhcpcd-{gtk,qt} lack that you need :)

Re: Is there some work on a official/preinstalled Desktop for NetBSD?
What do you think about this desktoop: lumina. It is based in freebsd. Uses the fluxbox window manager and qt. The author says that is developed for BSD (mainly FreeBSD and PCBSD), and therrefore there isn't the problems of other linux-centric window managers as KDE/GNOME/xfce http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com.es/2014/08/bsdtalk244-lumina-desktop-environment.html I would like to have a lightweight destop environment included in base, minimalistic and good enough (for me it is anything better that actual twm), altough the solution is more simple that your original project. Would lumina be much more easy to integrate and support that your original project? Or can you envision other simple solution: integrate/support that is good enough?
