We are pleased to present the release of NomadBSD 1.4.
Changes since 1.3.2
- The base system has been upgraded to FreeBSD 12.2-p4.
- The installer has been improved.
- Problems with booting the installed system via UEFI has been fixed.
- The suitable graphics card driver will now be installed and setup, instead of using the auto-detection on the installed system.
- Automatic graphics driver detection has been improved
- The menu has been removed.
- If no better graphics driver could be found, VESA or SCFB is used.
- Autodetection will now run only if the system configuration changed since the last successful detection.
- Autodetection can be disabled via the boot menu in case there is a problem.
- Touchpad support has been improved
- If Xorg reports a problem with the touchpad,
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask
is automatically adjusted to use sysmouse. - The tool DSBXinput has been added which allows for easy configuration of touchpads and mice.
- If Xorg reports a problem with the touchpad,
- An rc-script for saving an restoring the display brightness has been added.
- A GUI for easy installation of the Linux Chrome, Brave and Vivaldi browser has been added. They allow to use streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, or Spotify.
- Support for selecting other window managers or desktop environments by pressing
<F1>
in the graphical login manager (SLiM) has been added. - wifimgr has been replaced by NetworkMgr.
- The subsystem for auto-starting applications used by NomadBSD does now conform to the XDG autostart specs
- The partition which uses the remaining space is now mounted under
/data
. /compat
,/var/tmp
,/var/db
, and/usr/ports
are now nullfs mount points for their counterparts under/data
, so that users don’t have to create symlinks for those directories anymore.- Bad news for i386 users: Since drm-legacy-kmod is now obsolete, there is no i386 support for accelerated graphics for Intel and ATI/AMD cards aymore.
The first release candidate of NomadBSD 1.4 is now available!
