Because the number was significant I used the "portupgrade -a" command to make sure all the dependencies were processed properly. As it turned out, there were still a couple of places were the process broke and I needed to do a "deinstall" and "reinstall" on a certain package(s) before I could continue. When the process was done I tried to run "startx", but I got an error. I ran just X without startx or xinit and I get the message: Fatal server error: Caught signal 11: Server aborting Abort trap: 6 I've tried to reinstall xorg, xorg-drivers, and a handful of other drivers, but no luck. I'm using FreeBSD 6.4, and the upgrade was for xorg-7.4. Any suggestions?
