Hi all,
I've been using fvwm for several years now on various platforms, and I've
recently upgraded to an AMD 64FX51 processor, running Mandrake 9.2 RC1 for
AMD 64 (soon to be upgraded to the shipping version). The stable RPM version
of fvwm wouldn't install because it did not look for the 64 bit libraries, so
I built the 2.5.8 version.
The good news is that it's usable. It's never crashed, and most applications
seem fine. The bad news is that some parts are a bit buggy. Being 2.5.8,
I'm not sure which parts are buggy due to it being an unstable version versus
buggy due to being compiled for 64 bit.
Is there anyone else out there using a similar setup? Is there any interest
or forum for me to bring up these bugs?
Some of the things I'm seeing:
- Mouse stays as "busy clock" on empty desktop
- "FvwmButtons" icon never leaves docking panel (never finished running?)
- Cannot click on buttons in docking panel to (de-)iconify applications
- Some applications can't be moved, iconified, or resized (acroread,
openoffice)
Thanks in advance.
