Hi,

First of all, I would like to thank all the team – you are creating a 
great desktop environment!


I’ve just updated my laptop from PCBSD 10.1 to FreeBSD 11, and I’ve 
reinstalled EFL, Enlightenment and some EFL apps. I don’t remember the 
old version of EFL, but it was Enlightenment 0.19.x. Now I am on Efl 
1.18.4 and Enlightenment 0.21.7, both installed from FreeBSD binary 
packages.


The most important thing I want to mention is that the stability of the 
DE is greatly improved. There is no freeze I had frequently on E19. The 
principal source of freeze – main menu – now works perfectly. Another 
important point – the file manager don’t freeze the whole system as 
before (I deactivated the module on E19 as the system was unusable with 
it), it’s fluid and fast. And the bonus – some modules are working now! ;)


Unfortunately, there are still some problems I want to talk with the 
developers.


The most important problem – efreetd. We’ve already discussed this 
problem in the mail list, I’ve opened the ticket on phab (T5130). One 
MUST disable this daemon to be able to use a laptop, if not – the CPU 
and HDD I/O are consumed permanently. I tried to search a little in 
sources, but it’s really difficult to understand – how does it start and 
why is it started so frequently. I can try to debug it if someone helps me.


Another problem (really important for me, but probably not visible for 
99% of users) – mouse bindings. I’m using a Logitech mouse with 
additional buttons on scroll wheel (right-click and left-click). These 
buttons were perfectly recognized by E19 and I’m used to use them for 
windows list scrolling (like alt-tab). Unfortunately, on E21 it works 
ONLY if the mouse pointer is placed on desktop or on window title. The 
“Action Context” is set to “Any”, but it still does not work inside any 
window. Note, that it was perfectly working on E19.


As about modules – I’ve tried some ones:

- Temperature is showing 25 degrees always, even when efreetd is 
transforming my laptop to iron;

- Mixer is perfectly working with PulseAudio… till restart of 
Enlightenment, it freezes completely after ctrl-alt-end and restart of E;

- Cpufreq is showing correctly the current CPU frequency, but the icon 
stays always the same, with the pointer blocked on minimal position;

- Battery works fine;

- Keyboard works fine.


It would be really nice if someone can recommend me something to solve 
my problems. If you consider that additional tickets should be opened on 
phab – I’ll do it.


Best regards,

Peter
