I have FreeBSD installed on a computer that, for now, solely does the job of showing me the weather. I used to use the Windows 8 weather program that came on it, but after some updates did not work as well. Additionally, the computer does not have working graphics acceleration because it uses the "scfb" driver with Gen7 Intel Graphics.
What I have tried so far:
adesklets, gdesklets, and deskutils/superkaramba are all deprecated. misc/xfce4-weather-plugin is kind of ugly and main window does not auto update as well as no radar. deskutils/gnome-weather requires GNOME (XFCE does not support GNOME 3.x widgets). Packaged GNOME requires graphics acceleration. Typhoon (python, standalone) crashes. my-weather-indicator (python, unity binding) requires GNOME. Again, packaged GNOME requires graphics acceleration.
I'm installing x11/kde4 right now to see what my options are as far as plasma widgets go and may need to install the latest version of GNOME to bypass the graphics acceleration check. In the meantime, are there any weather applications / widgets I may be missing?
