Hi,<br><br>I was trying to port nxlibs to xorg 7.0 some time ago. I have made everything compile successfully. But I got a black screen when connected (seems libx11 problem), I'm not a xorg hacker, so I gave up.<br>The packages I've created:
<br>libx11-nx<br>libxrender-nx<br>nxcomp<br>nxcompshad<br>nxproto-input<br>nxproxy<br>nxtrans<br>libxau-nx<br>libxt-nx<br>nxcompext<br>nx-proto-core<br>nxproto-kb<br>nxssh<br>nx-X11 (only nxagent)<br><br><br>nxagent is not modular so I compiled it using links to headers and removing everything else from the build script.
<br><br>If anyone is interested I can put the sources somewhere.<br><br> There are nx packages for feisty in <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/~marceloshima/+archive">https://edge.launchpad.net/~marceloshima/+archive</a>
. It is modular. I use nxlib-dev as build-dep to compile nxcomp, nxcompext and nxcompshat, but libxcomp-dev is build-dep to nxlibs. nxcomp that uses nx-proto-core is not on this repository but I've made it.<br><br>Hope this can help,

<br>> any resolutions to this (and many other topics I came across - new<br>> website, new project name, possible collaboration with the 2X team,<br>> etc, etc). Can all these interesting "future centric" issues be
<br>> noted clearly somewhere to not only lessen confusion but to spur<br>> contribution, support and innovation (homepage, a wiki page, etc) ?<br>><br></div>Hi,<br><br>I feel a bit guilty because I tried to help in this issue and finally I have
<br>done nothing. Sorry Fabian, as always and many people, the time is a non<br>renewed resource ....<br><br>It's no easy or trivial to have freenx in debian official: there's a problem<br>(with solution) with the base code (NX) that implies that freenx fails. The
<br>nxlibs is a "fork" of the Xfree before and now Xorg and also have some<br>security issues that have to take care. Think in mind that a maintenable<br>solution is to have an "official" debian package of nx, not severals projects
<br>as now.<br><br>One one the solutions that with Fabian we talked was to create a real fork of<br>the NX libs , also create a new project, something like "freenx is dead" we<br>move to ....... (VLSC?) with the idea to create a NX libs, which are based
<br>the project is some kind of wrapped code to the Xorg in the way that it will<br>be possible to have a "official" debian package in a future.<br><br>I said to Fabian that I will try to help in this, and I finally have done
<br>nothing (sorry....) so, the things are more or less in this situation....<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Leo<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>________________________________________________________________<br>
