I'm sure you already read it but maybe there's something that could help by taking a second look. This is the best that I can offer: 20040723: AUTHOR: anholt@FreeBSD.org The XFREE86_VERSION variable is replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable. XFREE86_VERSION may no longer be used by ports Makefiles. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may currently be set to xorg, xfree86-4, and xfree86-3 (please use :L in checking it). Several X_*_PORT variables are provided by bsd.port.mk which map to the appropriate port for the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM chosen. Bob Perry -- I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #0
