Assuming that by "latest version" you mean the latest release version, which is 4.1.0 (though 4.2.0 is due soon): In order to get that one, you'd have to update your ports tree, as explained under http://www.freebsd.org/handbook. With a current ports tree, just cd to /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 and type "make" and if everything seems fine, "make install". If you have a previous version of X installed, better deinstall it first (I'd use pkg_delete -f, probably pkg_info | grep first in order to find out what exactly the name of the package to delete is). Notice that if you are running 4.4-RELEASE (and probably even 4.3-RELEASE?), you do not have to update your ports tree in order for XFree86 4.1.0 to be available to you. Also, if you are referring to some developement version of X, probably a pre-release of the forthcomming 4.2.0, then we have no direct way for you to update. You can definately get the latest X sources from XFree86 via CVS, but these do not neccessarily have to be stable at this point. If you need something that is not there in 4.1.0 but is supposed to be included in 4.2.0, you'll probably have to wait a few more weeks. 4.2.0 was due for the end of November 2001, but it has slipped (because it always slips) and will probably become officially available before the end of this year (hopefully).
