Hi,
Most distros have switched to Xorg, but i want to use XFree86 (i'm adding
features to it). I'll migrate from Debian-sid to FreeBSD if things are
suitable.

I find Xorg has gone backwards by creating all kinds of build dependencies on
the host environment by using Autoconf and dpkg.

If i use XFree86, will any of the ports package dependencies complain about
not having Xorg?

Is XFree86 ports in FreeBSD up to date and maintained, or will i need to do
it myself?
