--=-nPHrb86NjHEx+K8sBld+ Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Kevin, I'm actually running XFree86-3.3.6, from initial system installation time back at FreeBSD 4.3 - I'm currently running 4.6RC, here's the uname info: # uname -a FreeBSD <snip> 4.6-RC FreeBSD 4.6-RC #0: Sun May 26 11:20:25 BST 2002 <snip>:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/<snip> i386 #=20 Does it not matter that I'm running this version of XFree86, and pkgdb -F mentioned stale dependancies with the pointer to XFree-4X? I've always been happy with the version I've got installed, and besides, I wasn't clear on whether or not my graphics card at the time was supported in the new version. I've got the ATI Xpert 8MB. Can I still run pkgdb -F and select the "a" option when asked to complete? Thanks.
