Thanks! Yeap, works for me as well, but I did have some issues with other apps. system: fresh install of 8-STABLE on 3/12; amd64 with nVidia binary blob drivers. linux compat not installed and using the nVidia AGP connector. xorg itself built flawlessly and xdm installed and worked fine at the login screen. However, xfce4 would crash, after doing the "login" animation, and coredump. Disabling xdm and using startx did the same. I had Composite enabled and a few other tweaks that are composite / 3d accel related in xorg.conf. After disabling this and rebooting I was able to login into XFCE4. However, after re-enabling it and rebooting I was still able to log into XFCE4. However, starting an xterm would crash XFCE4. The XFCE4 terminal app worked fine, but xterm would crash it. I disabled Composite again, rebooted, and now xterm and everything else seems to work okay. If anyone wants a copy of my xorg.conf or any other logs, let me know. Kudos though. I'm sure once the freeze is up it will all iron out. Thanks. henrik -- Henrik Hudson lists(a)rhavenn.net ----------------------------------------- "God, root, what is difference?"

You will likely want to use UXA > acceleration with this driver. UXA might be needed for the Intel 2.7 driver, too. The xorg 7.5 update installed okay on my AA1 netbook. Existing xorg.conf specified EXA. With Intel 2.7, xfce4 showed no icons and would reliably signal 11 by choosing Settings/Appearance/Fonts, the point size, and then the scroll up button. With UXA, it works. Composite works with both 2.7 and 2.9, but all screen updates are pretty slow. With composite disabled in xfce4's Window Manager Tweaks/Compositor/Enable Display compositing, xfce4 is usable.

(testing with 'vesa' driver). As before, 'startx' works, 'startxfce4' doesn't.

Doing startx, then testing a few things. xvinfo - reports "no adaptors present" xdriinfo - reports extension "XFree86-DRI" missing..., not direct rendering capable glxgears - runs and reports 90+ FPS I still don't know why Xfce refuses to run. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

All my other testing has been with the 'vesa' driver which works with startx, but not with startxfce4. Is there any reason why Xfce shouldn't work with the vesa driver? (It used to work just fine, but that was a couple of years ago) -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

The following works (when started from a shell inside 'startx'): - mousepad - thunar - xfce4-about - xfce4-appfinder - xfce4-panel - xfrun4 - xfterm4 - xfdesktop-settings - xfdesktop When I start xfce4-session, it starts up the panel (xfce4-panel), the desktop (xfdesktop) and then it crashes. And 'xfwm4' complains that another window manager is already running (true enough).
