Wjy are we syill having this conversation?
The problem (and its solution) have been
raised for at least 39 years.
To specify a file, directory, device, whatever,
whose leaf name begins with a `-', name it using
a leading `./' as in:
whatever ./-S
That will work for all programs, even those
Preamble:
% cvt 1600 1280
# 1600x1280 59.92 Hz (CVT 2.05M4) hsync: 79.51 kHz; pclk: 171.75 MHz
Modeline "1600x1280_60.00" 171.75 1600 1712 1880 2160 1280 1283

Running the following:
xrandr --auto
xrandr --newmode "1600x1280_60.00" 171.75 1600 1712 1880 2160 1280

I have searched for ppmtoxpm in ports and in FreeBSD Search Services to
no avail.
ppmtoxpm converts a portable pixmap into an X11 pixmap.
Is there a freebsd equivalent or alternative?

I have a thinkpad t61p running freebsd9.0. The window size is 1680x1050
-- a reasonable size -- but the screen itself is 38cm. (15") which is
irritatingly
small for my old eyes.
So I want to attach an external monitor via a vga cable, which I have been
doing with my RedHat thinkpad A31P for years
What you have are sparse files. The size listed by ls -l is the
length of the files as if all the file from start to end contain data,
but unix allows one to seek beyond the end of a file and add more data,
thus leaving unused blocks. A common example of sparse files
is the *.pag file in a dbm da
To support my line editor I used to use:
sgtty.c_lflag = ISIG;
sgtty.c_iflag = BRKINT | IGNPAR | IXON | ICRNL;
sgtty.c_oflag &= (ONLCR | OPOST | TAB3);
sgtty.c_cc[VMIN] = 1;
sgtty.c_cc[VTIME] = 1;
iotcl(0, TCSETAW, &sgtty);
but this no longer appear
