fellow FreeBSDians,
I am facing gnome2 issues in freebsd7.2
I installed freebsd7.2 in an IBMT60 lenova notebook,( coreduoe 2.16 Ghz, IGB ram, ATI graphics)
I done pkg_add -r xorg, fine created xorg.conf and tested with -retro option, then got mouse detected with blank screen. I used hald and dbus in rc.conf.
Then I installed gnome by pkg_add -r gnome2 , fine enabled gdm in rc.conf and able to login and can use Desktop . I can chage Desktop background with .jpeg files
everything fine.
But when Idownloaded OOo3.1 binaries for 7.2 release from
http://lamarelle.lautre.net/OOo/ and pkg_add locally
, then it failed , asking me to install python26.x , jbigkit, latest gnutls & jpeg from ports instead of what I have in this box, then cups-base, cups-image, cups-client etc .
I installed python26, jbigkit, cups-base, cups-image, cups-client. I deinstalled gnutls & jpeg ports and installed again them. after this OOo got installed and working fine.
But after I rebooted the machine but issues
1) firefox browser can't launch , what I made wrong how to fix it?
2) Ekiga softphone , Epiphany webbrowser can't launch. how to fix ?
3)in Sound&Video Movie player , swfdec Flash player etch can't launch
4) Evolution Mail & calender also can't launced.
5) I can't change Desktop background with .jpeg files , but .png wall papers worked for desktop backgroud. ?
what I made wrong, how can I fix these issues, I really need a FreeBSD7.2 Desktop in my this notebook,
Please help me with your suggestions & expertise, All help much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dhanesh
