GNOME

犹豫了很久，实在是禁不起诱惑……从今天起改用 KDE 了，感觉这个桌面平台比 GNOME 更理性一些。

在 FreeBSD 上安装 KDE 非常简单：portinstall kde。然后配一下.xinitrc让它启动就可以了。

在漆黑一片一年之后，charlie重新开始跑起了图形界面。

断断续续装了一个星期（基本上只能在晚上做），Charlie的xorg、gnome总算都装完了，这个版本的-CURRENT出乎意料地稳定。开始，xorg 7.2识别我的显卡有点问题（一块很老的GeForce），不过用xorgcfg生成了一个新的xorg.cfg.new，然后用它替换掉xorg.cfg就好了。

没想到这么快……不过已经装了桌面的同学们，hia hia hia

I have been suffered by the speed of GNOME because it usually gets “jitter”.

It seems that marcus@ have the same problem. I have tried HZ=100 but it seems that nothing was changed. Then I have disabled ACPI and it seems the issue was worked around.

What happend in ACPI, so? Still under investigate.

不小心搞坏了本本上的GNOME……这下有的玩了。。。

ZHAO Xin (a colleague of mine) has pointed out that GNOME Simplified Chinese does not did a good work when displaying time. He then filed ports/72722 and ports/72723.

Adam Weinberger (adamw@, one of the major FreeBSD GNOME maintainers) has then pointed out that it might be better to contact the Simplified Chinese Translation team. In a private mail, I have explained that the root cause of the issue, however, is that our libc implementation does not implemented the GNU Extensions, say, the -_^0 extensions of strftime(3). Adam have then kindly approved that the patches should be committed, and we should have a long-run solution then finally remove them.
