Hi All,
I have installed BSD to the Pi by using the image referenced here: http://blog.cochard.me/2013/03/xorg-for-freebsd-on-raspberry-pi.html
I then ran pkg to bootstrap itself, and then installed xorg and after hacking the scfb driver, managed to get X to come up .... I tested with some basic X apps and the horrible TWM window manager ..
(The scfb driver needed a hack to disable the screen depth check for some reason)
I then wanted to install Mate, so installed mate-desktop mate-utils mate-terminal and although the desktop comes up fine, it seems to be missing a window manager ... what one do I install, and why is there not at least a default one as a Mate dependancy ...
Thanks,
EDIT: It seems I needed at least one theme to be installed to see my window borders etc.
Still missing icons though, even after installing mate-icon-theme
Also, does anyone know if an accelerated screen driver is available, ..... soooo slow ....
Not really usable ...
