Xorg related stuff touches a lot of things, and on resonably fast hardware it's usually easier and less time-consuming to just wipe everything and start from scratch rather than hunt down the ports that needs rebuilding. > >> It might also be possible to use a tool such as portmaster or >> portupgrade, but I have never tried this myself. > > That was my plan. I use portupgrade. That can work, allthough I have not tried myself. Make sure to recompile everything that depends on xorg related stuff (such as DEs and Firefox and so on) just in case. There is probably some way to get portmaster to do this recursive build for you. > >>> So, um, if I understand correctly "Mesa" currently contains: >>> >>> 1) code to implement an API called "Mesa3d", and... >>> >>> 2) code to implement a rather different API called "Gallium3D" >>> ... >> ...

I have to get one of those... That sounds very convenient, especially when juggling multiple versions of things :) Regards! -- Niclas Zeising
