lost X11 input from kybd
I'm running FreeBSD-current. I updated about 30 hours ago, did a rebuild of world and the kernel (without changing my kernel config file at all. I have to explain that I start my X11 via startx, I dislike using anything like xdm (or kdm,gdm etc) so I always use startx, relying on a ~/.xinitrc I have doctored nicely, to get me into kde. Well, like I normally do, I loeed in as root on ttyv0, my user chuckr on ttyv1, and then did the startx as chuckr on ttyv1. Everything started up fine, but when I tried to kill an accientally started xterm, I found I couldn't kill it with a control-D. After a bit of experimentation, it became obvious that I coulld get no keyboard input. Thank god I can still use the mouse perfectly, so I can kill X11 for troubleshooting via the mouse fine. After I did that, I found that all my keyboard input which hadn't shown up on any xterm was pasted instead on the screen of ttyv1, from which I'd started up X11 to begin with. So, I can't get my keyboard input to go to X11. I would REALLY love any guesses at all about why this is, because I can';t use X now on FreeBSD, and that's my mailer. I am using a poor replacement for this now, so I would really like to know what's causinbg this ... Oh, I have to add, I tried rolling the kernel back to kernel.old, no differentce, it;s still bad. I tried (after moving kernel.old back to kernel) to download and install a new world and kernel. Still fails also. I need some help here, badly.

Believe it or not, there are some yoyos who actually subscribe to that list, and sometimes even complain about test mail there, so you have our public permission to electronically crap all over them when they do that.

Re: Simple sendmail.cf question
Derek Ragona wrote: Don't build them there. There are sample .mc files and a make file in /etc/mail. You will find one you can copy for your system, and make whatever customizations you need. There is also one for the submit.mc too. Good suggestion, but I think that the fact that there's an extremely well written (meaning quite well commented, with perfect targets) Makefile, which will perform, for the user who might be innocent of sendmail, all of the more difficult bits. The Makefile is in /etc/mail/Makefile, and watchig it in action will show users how to do those things they might be unaware of. Probably ought to read the README in that directory, also. -Derek At 06:01 PM 3/18/2007, Bob Applegate wrote: I'm trying to figure out how to build sendmail.cf from the m4 files. The instructions located in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README are a bit vague. Can someone give me the secret recipe for doing this? I've always hand-edited the sendmail.cf file, but doing the work with macros looks so much easier. I just need to find out how to properly do it.
