It seems that no one in BSD world noticed that GNOME 2 have been forked and is now called MATE http://mate-desktop.org.
I believe it should be an easy task to port it to FreeBSD.

Ah, looks like I have committed x11/mate before I saved it in the VIM. I will fix it when I get chance today. Thanks for report!okeeblow said:There was an unescaped newline in x11/mate's RUN_DEPENDS at the time, but after fixing that the install went smoothly.
Glad that GDM works ok with MATE.okeeblow said:I've started mate-session both via GDM using the installed xsession and via SLiM using [CMD=""]ck-launch-session mate-session[/CMD] in my ~/.xinitrc.
The sounds works. Awesome! I plan to dig in the old patches of volume/sound stuff in our GNOME 2 before it switched to pulseaudio. Just to see if there is anything useful. I have disabled pulseaudio in MATE without provide any of option. I don't know if it's a good idea or not.okeeblow said:The volume control applet works perfectly with snd_hda
Definitely good. We do not want Lennart shit in the BSD worldmezz@ said:I have disabled pulseaudio in MATE without provide any of option. I don't know if it's a good idea or not.

fetch http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/marcusmerge
portsnap fetch extract
portsnap fetch update
sh marcusmerge -u -m ports-experimental -s /usr/src
cd /usr/ports/x11/mate-base
make install clean

Or just install the x11/mate if anyone want a complete MATE applications with the MATE desktop.ericturgeon said:To compile Mate:
You should have a minimal Mate install. The rest of the application is up to you. You can can find a list in /usr/ports/MC_UNMM-ports-experimental.txt of more Mate application.Code:cd /usr/ports/x11/mate-base make instal clean
xscreensaver -no-splash
Ah right, I forgot to add that one when I added a patch in the post-patch to use textproc/flex instead because it needs newer flex instead of one in the base system. I have fixed it, thanks for report.malco_2001 said:When building /usr/ports/x11/mate /usr/ports/textproc/flex has to be installed first or /usr/ports/math/mate-calc will not build
I don't know much about the screensaver. I will check to see why it doesn't work. I never have use inhibit applet before. The screensaver is pointless to me these day when monitor/LCD sleep mode is much better.okeeblow said:The sleep inhibit panel applet doesn't seem to inhibit screensaver under MATE. I'm using XScreensaver instead of mate-screensaver. Since MATE didn't provide a compile-time option for XScreensaver (like gnome2) I just disabled mate-screensaver as a startup item and replaced it withCode:xscreensaver -no-splash
That name is insane long with many dashes. They should have make it shorter.okeeblow said:

I have been testing with the inhibit applet a lot yesterday. It seems to work perfect here. I have set the screensaver to a minute with lock option. I have tested it for five minutes to have the screensaver came out at five times. Then click on the inhibit applet to disable the screensaver and the screensaver never comes out hours. When I enable it by click on the inhibit applet and the screensaver came out perfect in a minute. I did it repeat for three times.mezz@ said:I don't know much about the screensaver.

Thanks, I have committed it with a bit tweak. Thanks!okeeblow said:I ended up granting my own request. Here's mate-file-manager-open-terminal
