Me too! ^
I seem to understand that the NO_X option is used for removing X support from those
ported programs which can function without X.
I have always installed X -- most of my software, actually -- via the ports
mechanism. <disclaimer> I am not aware of any potential problems which might arise
when X is installed otherwise </disclaimer>. I appear to understand <answer
type="tentative"> that some ports look for installed libraries & suchlike. Thus the
installation method (ports or packages) should be immaterial. </answer>
On my bloat^H^H^H^Hworkstation I want X, so... BTW, after setting
XFREE86_VERSION=4 in /etc/make.conf, I was able to seamlessly compile the
build-wise & resource-wise dreadful KDE2. Well, I perused a number of posts in the
archives, in particular yours :-)
On my 4.3 RC system (as of about one week ago), KDE2's antialiasing setting just
doesn't work with TrueType fonts. Uncheking it in the KDE2 erm "control center"
seems to produce acceptable results -- and QT_XFT IS 0 in the latter case.
I was wondering whether I had missed something or whether these were simply the
best results I could get out of KDE2 & XFree86-4. Sorry for replying with... another
question :-)
TIA,
Salvo
