Now that Facebook allows users to connect via XMPP, it's natural for us to want to use a chat client such as Pidgin to Instant Message from our familiar IM clients. Here are the settings you'd need to use:
username: your Facebook username
Domain: chat.facebook.com
Resource: chat.facebook.com
Password: your password.
Under advanced, you need to disable encryption for now (lame).
Robert, I think you probably need to disable security (see the very end of the original post). I had to do that in Pidgin to stop getting authentication errors. Also, try setting your username to username@chat.facebook.com instead of just your username.
what about MirandaIM. These settings get me an authentication fail.
