Just for fun I thought I should make the upgrade to 3.3.6 of XFree86 by
using the ports. I don't think I'll do tht again, since when doing it
that way XFree86 doesn't work as when installing from the binaries found
in the distribution.
I get an error when trying startx, saying that maybe I'm not the owner
of the console and then the system tries to call some function in X
which is unreachable and then finally gives up.
Reinstallation from all the .tgz files fetched from XFree86 fixed the
whole thing, but it is a bit annoying that the ports installation does
something to the rights to run X.
