I thought that I followed the directions in UPDATING regarding Xorg 7.2, but, uh, I guess I didn't. My computer now seems beyond repair, with respect to X. I'm strongly considering giving up, wiping the hard drive, reinstalling FreeBSD, and restoring my personal stuff from backups.
So, my questions:
If I do that, and install the latest xorg on a completely fresh FreeBSD box:
Do I have to set XORG_UPGRADE (or whatever it's called)?
Should I still use portupgrade-devel instead of portupgrade? I would rather just use portupgrade, if I can.
Do I have to follow any of the other directions in UPDATING regarding this... stuff?
Or can I just do a normal old "cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg; make install" without any of the special new exciting xorg crap in UPDATING?
I have googled about this, but have found seemingly conflicting statements, which is why I am explicitly asking.
Thank you in advance for any help.
