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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
