The best way I have found to do this is to upgrade everything depending on XFree86-libraries, and everything that XFree86-libraries depends on. That way, you know anything running in X, including X itself, gets upgraded. This will also upgrade Qt and KDE. To do this: portupgrade -rR XFree86-libraries Be prepared to wait a long time. If you have a really fast connection, a fast CPU for compiling, and lots of disk space, and, you are insane, you can also upgrade your *ENTIRE* system with: portupgrade -arR Go on holiday after issuing this command.
