When things started looking increasingly messy, I decided my quickest way out was to start again from scratch. - drop to single-user - pkg-delete -a - install required ports (including x11/xorg) - exit single-user - No xdm Why? The x11/xorg-apps Makefile has been completely re-worked and no longer includes a RUN_DEPENDS=3D x11/xdm, so presumably the change is intentional. Perhaps a config option to prompt for installation of a favourite display manager might be helpful? A warning of this changed behaviour of the meta-port in UPDATING? I guess I just go ahead now and install x11/xdm - and then discover the next thing missing that has "always been there". Thanks to all who have worked on this X.Org 7.4 port. I'm grateful for all the work you put in to this. It's just that the missing display manager was more than a bit of a surprise. --=20 John Marshall --jRHKVT23PllUwdXP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkl9JXwACgkQw/tAaKKahKJFCwCfcCuX4w+oRFL4OUvCyJb3FzVh s7wAoIMiOb86WuLlvwtlkNrxrWrIcGdl =HxFc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jRHKVT23PllUwdXP--
