Date: 8 Aug 1995 17:06:11 GMT Organization: The University of British Columbia Lines: 35 Message-ID: <4085i3$rci@nntp.ucs.ubc.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: tupelo.ppc.ubc.ca I have recently installed 2.0.5R from CD everything went quite smooth, so I thought I would add a few packages that I use such as XFIG. XFIG starts fine and runs, I can use the buttons etc. but when I put the mouse pointer into the drawing window not only do I get a core dump from xfig, but I get kicked out of X all together. I have freeBSD 1.1.5.1 running on another DISK/partition and I have no problem with XFIG. I am running a 486DX-66 with a MACH32 card and using the MACH X server. I was wondering if anybody else has this problem and/or a way around it. I noticed in the comments section of the ports directory it says xfig doesnt work under 2.0R Any help appreciated thanks James -- /****************************************************************/ James A.
