 You mean there is a distribution that actually plans on
 shipping 4.4.0?  ;o)

Actually, according to
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/COPYRIGHT.TXT
, I guess Slackware will:

This product includes software developed by The XFree86
Project, Inc (http://www.xfree86.org/) and its contributors.

 I must have missed that, and I thought Gentoo looked like a

 Slackware if they are the only ones that base choices on the
 usefulness of software rather than personal opinions about
 the licenses.

Exactly. It's just a bunch of text files, Python scripts, or
whatever, so what's the problem in providing them, even if as
as second choice ? None.

BTW, Slackware also includes Java. Patrick got a license from
SUN a long time ago.

 Am I the only one who remembers when distributions used to
 include Netscape Navigator?

I bet they'd still if Mozilla didn't exist.

[XFree86] xf86config from 4.4.0 mentions SuperProbe

2004-02-29 Thread Frédéric L. W. Meunier
Just compiled 4.4.0 and ran xf86config. In the first page it
displays, among others:

SuperProbe may be able to help with this.

SuperProbe has been removed in 4.2.0.

2004-02-29 Thread Frédéric L. W. Meunier
It also mentions

Now give the full device name that the mouse is connected to,
for example /dev/tty00.


I assume who wrote it meant /dev/ttyS0, what used to be a
standard some years ago (serial mouse on the first serial
port).

That's all. Congratulations for the release.

[Xpert]#define XprtServer NO and libXp

2002-10-08 Thread Frédéric L. W. Meunier


Hi. Is there any reason to disable libXp if #define XprtServer
NO is used ? I don't need the server but some applications
require the library:

# ./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2.bin
./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2.bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I compiled xf-4_2-branch.

Answering my own question:

#define XprtServer NO
/* This disables compilation of libXp, which is required to run
RealOne, RealPlayer, and Java, among others.
cd ~/tmp/objdir
lndir /usr/local/src/CVS/X11/xc/lib/Xp

[Xpert]Re: When is 4.1.1 (or what will it be?) is scheduled?

 4.2.0 is supposed to be this month, but it will likely slip
 into next year (because it always slips).

What about updating http://www.xfree86.org/ ?

4.1.0 is a new full release of XFree86. The next full release
will be 4.2.0, which is scheduled for mid-late November 2001.
If necessary, updates to 4.1.0 will be released before then.

[Newbie]Re: 4.1.0 build error

2001-12-02 Thread Frédéric L. W. Meunier

 Hi, I'm new to this list and I have a problem. I've compiled
 4.1.0 several times on multiple lfs installations and never
 had a problem. This last time I decided to compile in
 joystick support and recieved this error message during make
 install

 Does anyone have an explanation? Any help/pointers would be
 appreciated.

No, but I got the same error with 4.0.1 last year:

http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/newbie/2000-October/001769.html

I'd like to compile 4.2.0 with it. BTW, when will 4.2.0 be
released ? Maybe the site needs some updates:

The next full release will be 4.2.0, which is scheduled for
mid-late November 2001. If necessary, updates to 4.1.0 will
be released before then.
