But it is portmaster's use of "pkg_delete -f" that concerns > me. This is a known problem, and has nothing to do with portmaster. If you deinstall nvidia-driver first it restores the xorg-server files to the prior state. If you do xorg-server first, doing the install of nvidia-driver with -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER (without deinstalling first) should do the trick. hth, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
