I decided to try a more recent cvsup of the ports tree and try again. After issuing: cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile && portsdb -uU && pkgdb -F And following up with a portupgrade -a -e -f -y Portupgrade finished without error. So I elected to bounce the box and issue "startx" after logging in. Good news. No more Xorg dumping core. Bad news. Xorg exits before completeting with the following error: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' The man page provided no help. Google provided no cure. Yahoo provided no cure. I tried "make uninstall" of every "misc" font file I could imagine. Then make installing all of them. But still no joy. :( Please help. Thank you. --Chris -- panic: kernel trap (ignored)
