Depending on what those programs do, this is wrong. Generally: - libs have to go to LINUXBASE if they are "infrastructure" (usable by other ports) - programs have to go to X11BASE or LOCALBASE if they are enduser programs instead of "infrastructure" Some examples: - generic libs which are used by linux programs belong into LINUXBASE - the tools which come with e.g. libjpeg are installed into LINUXBASE (everyone would use the FreeBSD native ones and the linux ones belong into the "infrastructure" category) - the linux version of firefox or the Intel C/C++ compiler , will be started by the user of the system, so it belongs into X11BASE or LOCALBASE So I think the ATI libs belong into LINUXBASE and the ATI programs an user would use belongs into X11BASE (or maybe LOCALBASE, depending what they do). > * Installs the X11 drivers and libraries.

It's great to see someone working on this.
