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.
