--=-j8CaUY45cKo5XAthdY4c Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Guys, Okay, I ran: cp /etc/defaults/make.conf /etc/make.conf then edited make.conf to show: # By default, the ports collection attempts to use XFree86 3.3.X. If # you are running XFree86 4.X, uncomment this line. # XFREE86_VERSION=3D 3 However, Kevin, running pkg_version -v | grep XFree86 didn't return anything: # pkg_version -v | grep XFree86 #=20 sigh.., What else could I do in this case? I'm not entirely sure how to determine for sure the version of XFree86-3.3.6 I have here. I *do* know for a fact that I did not ever change to XFree86-4x, though.
