I grabbed a FreeBSD 8.4 CD-ROM set from FreeBSDMall last week. The installation of the system went fine, but I couldn't get the network card running right, so I dropped back to 8.3. I kept the ports that came with the 8.4 CD-ROM set and built KDE4 4.10.1 from source. It's working, but there are a couple issues I'd like to talk about.
- The most problematic issue is the screen locker/saver is constantly crashing and restarting. It's impossible to login once that gets started. If it does start, I switch to a virtual terminal and kill X, then restart. If I know I'm going to be away from the computer for long, I logout and restart when I get back. Disabling xscreensaver
thruthrough the xscreensaver settings dialog does not resolve the issue. - Virtuosso runs constantly. Before, when I was using 4.8.4, it would run for a few minutes, then stop and wait for something. Now it just runs and runs. Is there a way to see what's going on with it?
