Happy new year

I’m finally back from France so I can focus on (important) work.

I’ve added compiz 0.3.6 to the exp tree and updated beryl to 0.1.4 (still have to add heliodor and aquamarine). I’ve also updated a few ports and fixed some issues (dri detection on !i386, removed sun drivers from the build on !sparc64). At the [...]

Didn’t take too long but still was a necessary step. At the same time I had to update Mesa ports to 6.5.2 (and create a missing libGLw port which was needed by a few ports). X.org 7.2 is due on the 11th of December so I guess we won’t have a release candidate again.

As I said, I upgraded the beryl/emerald ports to 0.1.2 and pushed them to the shared git repository. It builds/packages fine but I actually haven’t run-tested them yet.

i just pushed my local changes. Not much to say. There are still a few packing list issues with fonts. I’ll investigate this week end. Starting in 5 minutes, I’ll work on updating my beryl ports to 0.1.2 and create the missings ones.

Have a look at the x11@ archives for more information.

Latest news about FreeBSD/xorg

The latest update of libX11 depended on libxcb which had a broken dependency on pthreads. Most xf86-input ports were broken after the latest inputproto update. I couldn’t build latest xorg-server because it required a [...]

Finally, Beryl on FreeBSD

After 3 days of fight with xorg-server, mesa, dri and beryl, I’ve finally managed to make it work on my Dell Latitude D620 (with Intel i945GM). Here is the screenshot. Agreed, there’s not much to see, and the screenshot isn’t the nicest one you have seen. The laptop is running -CURRENT with all the debugging [...]

Latest work on FreeBSD/X.org

I’ve tried to get things done lately. I’ve installed xorg-modular on two of my laptops. Worked fine so far, but maintaining it was a real PITA, since I had the new xorg ports in a separate stripped ports tree (with the only necessary ports to compile xorg).

I finally set up a cvs to git importer, [...]
