The workaround is actually the solution AFAIK; see x11/kdelibs3/MESSAGE.I moved my code to do that to /etc/rc.conf.d/kdm. Perhaps it should be in /etc/rc.d/kdm?Re: TLS; I don't know if there's an option for this, but maybe you could use gnutls instead?I have no idea how to do that with kde.Modular Xorg in pkgsrc nearing the point where you might consider using it in production; have you considered an upgrade path yet?It doesn't support X servers yet, a requirement for that machine. Nor is it a machine I use (and hence can work around problems with), so I'm unwilling to put experimental software on it.
Its been supporting X servers for a while now - I'm running
xf86-video-ati on my Thinkpad T41p, an Asus 9600 based laptop
and a shuttle with a 9550, xf86-video-vesa on an X700 based
laptop, and xf86-video-i810 on an old i810 dell desktop.
What its lacked has been a meta package to pull in all the
drivers, but joerg added meta-pkgs/modular-xorg-drivers :)
Be warned, the ati driver at least leaves the console with
"extremely dark grey on black text" on exit, though the
vesa driver is better behaved.
KDE3 & freevo also seem happy, and just ran a quick scratch
test of Kmail and it seemed happy to send over TLS (I use
a different MUA normally)
