i am not busy this days and the new FreeBSD 7.0 rc1 was published, so i installed that on my thinkpad(very old one).
I encountered some questions when i installed that.
- the video card driver.
if you have a T23 Thinkpad, you know the video card is savage super.when i installed FreeBSD 6.2, the savage driver was loaded automatically, but this time don’t run: when i executed command “Xorg -configure” to generate a xorg.conf, it failed and generated a error that could not found a video card.why????i found a hint from results of google: ports, ports, the driver program is in ther ports!Yeah, xf86-video-savage, wow.Then i executed command “make install clean” without any error.Warnning:
the drivers of keyboard and mouse are not loaded automatically too, you need to execute “make install” the ports “ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard” and “ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse” to install the driver modules. - fcitxi installed the fcitx(chinese input tool),and runed it, but i could not active it! you can see her but you can not touch her, just like this.why?
i known the reason now: the environment variable LANG and LC_CCTYPE!my gnome environment language is english, and i can input chinese now.you can set variable LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.eucCN and set other variables of locale to en_US.UTF-8, and execute fcitx from .xinitrc file. - firefox
i don’t know why my firefox can’t open https site… maybe it conficted with others, or some dynamic library was broken. i reinstall the package from the cd and the firefox open sites encryped by ssl ok. - qq
with pidgin, i can chat with my friends on msn or gtalk, but my qq can not login: the version is too low! what is the appropriate version number? i can change it …
vim, postgresql, cvsup, etc…
