After this i installed the XFree86-4.10_6 package from the cdrom..... but i am facing an annoying problem, where none of the ports recognize that x-windows has been installed, and they simply try to download the source and recompile.... I was trying to install the package, so that i can avoid the bulky download, and lengthy recompile...., can somebody tell me, why this is happening? and what should be done to fix it?
