I installed the modular Xorg and the meta-pkg Xfce4 and am having 2 issues.
1) setting Quote:
2) The documentation in /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/fam indicates 2 ways to start the fam daemon. I am more familiar with starting using /etc/rc.d and found a famd.sh in /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/fam/files. I tried running famd.sh with Quote:

Concerning the famd, try copying the famd.sh to /etc/rc.d/ and add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
Code:
famd=YES http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-rc.html I don't know about xmd, are there any errors in /var/log/messages?

The famd now starts. Thanks. I think I found the problem with xdm - there was a message that /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config was not found and when I look the /etc/X11/xdm directory is empty. I am going to try to copy those files overfrom /usr/pkg/lib/X11/xdm and give it a try and I'll report back with an edit.
The problem with xdm was the missing files. I built the modular xorg from source an I suspect that there may be a problem with the build scripts. One more thing to iron out but it probably deserves a new thread for future searches Last edited by shep; 23rd October 2009 at 02:33 AM. Reason: reporting back |
