A patch which fixes the XDMCP problem has been found; props to Robert Nelson and Brian Cameron on Gnome's Bugzilla. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2007-November/018614.html http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495623 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494817 -----==========----- In other news, I've been looking for good emulators for Sega Genesis/MegaDrive and Master System; preferably ones that work on my Laptop (Ubuntu) and the XDMCP server (FreeBSD): - DGen (Genesis) - Slow but stable with good compatibility. No GUI user interface. Not updated since 2004, and website disappeared earlier this month :( - Gens (Genesis) - Very fast. FBSD port is a bit behind the linux version which is a bit behind the windows version. Some forks around, no updates since 2005. i386 only. - Fusion (Genesis/SMS/Lots...) - Written by Snake, excellent apart from being windows-specific; lots of DX calls, problems on wine. Still maintained. - Generator (Genesis) - Awkward interface but unsurpassed multiplatform support. A bit faster than DGen but not as fast as Gens. Not actively maintained since 2005. - Meka (SMS and similar) - Excellent speed and compatibility, neat debugging stuff, but the Linux version is two versions behind the windows and there is no FBSD port. Still maintained; latest release was 2007-05-17. I'll think about fixing the Gens port for amd64 and possibly a Meka port - I have a lot of meka save files. Getting Gens and meka into the Ubuntu repositories would be nice - they build without problems on 7.10.
