I find your use of the word "complaining" disrespectful. A bug report serves to give feedback, and being polite should be answered politely. The point is that one cannot have things both ways. Either kfreebsd is indeed to become core as the announcements advertise (and I imagine the developers wis

Hello, Being optimistic and naively believing that kfreebsd is near to being released for mainstream Debian, I installed kfreebsd-i386 on an older machine that was in need of a complete re-install from scratch. My conclusions for the moment is that it is only marginally usable. Indeed, many packag

xorg pointer (mouse)

2010-01-30 Thread Alan BRASLAU
Hello, I newly installed kfreebsd-i386, fairly successfully, using the mini.iso debian installer. However, I have not been able to get the X11 core pointer (usb mouse) to work: 1. neither "by default" using hal 2. nor using a very minimal xorg.conf I have seen some discussion in bug reports, but
