I'm a package guy, that's all.

PS I've tried to compile it on other linux distro and it generated that message. I simply cannot afford to compile pidgin on low-spec client machine, which acts almost as a thin client ...

Well, looks like I'll have to introduce some SalixOS VMs to manage such ...

It's not about the error message itself. It is more about the need of installing more and more tools to comply with even wider demands from the developer's site. Everyone seems to use different toolkits and my system base keeps growing, which I usually don't like, you know

configure: error: The intltool scripts were not found. Please install intltool
Well, I appreciate your sense oh humour, but this tells me opposite ;)

I generally try to avoid any manual compilation, as it almost always raises some ridiculous demands, which I have no time to fulfill.
I'm sure many ...

Thanks. I was hoping for some simple solution though.

Howdy,

One of my clients has pidgin installed on Salix 13.1 / LXDE. I would really like to make it possible for this client to connect to our local zeroconf IM-service [bonjour] without any problems, but it turns out that Pidgin in SalixOS repos does not have "bonjour" plugin.
I have already ...

Eventually yes, but it doesn't help. I think there's no hope for me here ;) well, too bad.

I wish I could have some other video card there, but it's an old, refurbished laptop, so I didn't had much choice.

Slackware is just probobly moving forward with kernel and technology, while kernel from ...

OK, I did as you suggested. I removed the package and killed X process, but the screen went black and no keyboard combination worked. Looks like a double problem - udevadm/KMS + openchrome drvs.

Any tips? I usually give up just to find myself on the track again. I'd really like it to work, d'oh ...

It creates xorg.conf-vesa and gives me a splitted screen, just like in the openchrome driver case.

I know VIA drivers suck. However - it works ok on Debian, which is a linux distro too, so it should work on every distro, shouldn't it?

VESA doesn't work at all [black screen, nothing happens].

I disabled KMS, but X still gives me splitted screen like I was on a dual-head GPU ...

There has to be ...

Hello everyone. It's a great pleasure for me to post this message to fellow members of Salix OS, my favourite and well crafted Slackware-based distribution.
So far everything worked ok, but only on my workstation, not on my old Averated laptop which serves me as very comfortable typing machine ...
