I should have probably done =20 that from the beginning but who knows, I'm vert happy and 7.2 and the =20 localbase change, xorg 7.2 seems to have much better drivers. Thanks to all who made this very very complex upgrade possible. =20 Considering the more than 200 ports that were rebuilt with portupgrade =20 -rRfpy x11/xorg with no errors, it is pretty remarkable.
