If so, how? I'm not sure how cleanly it would do it since I didn't install XFree86 along with FreeBSD < 4.6 and 4.6-RELEASE includes XFree86 4.2 as the default version of X. Even if XFree86-3 was installed, I usually move X11R6 to X11R6.old and install XFree86 from the binary packages from XFree86.org. I haven't install X via Ports in a while :) -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
