Journal wadiwood's Journal: learning the hard way (again)
Have just had gnome installed on the new freebsd machine. Lots of grief because it is an intel with everything motherboard with an intel extreme graphics card which "features" dynamic memory sharing between the card and the cpu RAM. Sheesh. And none of these things are known to freebsd/X/Gnome. Sigh.
I just had problems with the old computer not recognising a nice new 80Gig drive although I think that is mainly a win98 Fdisk bug which can be fixed. And now the new PC and freebsd won't speak to each other. And just to make the combination of old and new really diverse, I have an ancient 3 button serial port mouse to go with and it doesn't like that either.
well it's working a bit now after a few shutdowns and restarts, and mozilla is working, no more popups? But how do I get each link to open in a new window (ie ie shift right click but how do I do this with mozilla?)
