Yes, it's supposed to do that. RealVNC's build requires that version of the X source to be present when building the vncserver. It's not installing any separate parts of XF86 on your system, as far as I can tell; it's merely using the source code in its own build process. Note that other VNC clones, such as TightVNC (which I use) don't have this behavior; this suggests it might be possible to swap out XF86 for Xorg and still get a working RealVNC. There's no X_SOURCE_FILES or anything similar in bsd.port.mk, so vnc's Makefile would need a condition on X_WINDOW_SYSTEM added to it directly. I may try this later to see if it works. -- -- Mike Still using IE? Get Firefox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=6492&t=1
