A "portmanager -u -l -y" updated something completely else (php5) but didn't show any other errors in the log : "portmanager 0.4.1_7 INFO: all ports are up to date" All should be fixed now. Got a hint from Boris Samodorov too : # pkg_delete linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_7 Didn't know that pkg_delete worked for ports, thought it was just for packages. Had to deinstall linux-sun-jdk14 first, but the reinstall used already the new linux-xorg-libs. So all is back on track now. Thanks for the help ! Beni.
