Hi, I have solved this issue. Turned out that font-util wasn't properly installed. Although I followed the steps in UPDATING, it appears that a lot of my ports didn't cleanly/properly upgrade - what I found I had to do was to repeatedly portupgrade -a, identify which ports stopped on 'you should make deinstall/reinstall' type errors and individually do just that for each one until no more errors ensued from portupgrade. Then I had to run portupgrade -N x11/xorg on top of that, as it appears that I didn't previously have the x11/xorg meta-port installed. I find it curious that although I had full X functionality before without it, just about everything I needed now hinged on adding it. Even after all of this, I keep finding that I have to add individual apps as I need them ie base things like xauth still weren't installed until I added them by hand afterwards. joel On Tue, 26 Jun 2007 08:50:10 -0400, Lowell Gilbert wrote: >freebsd-questions@auscert.org.au writes: > >> I've _almost_ successfully upgraded to 7.2 xorg.
