>Description:

There's still some text in the X11 section of the Handbook that thinks
XFree86 3.X is current.

>How-To-Repeat:

Read here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html

>Fix:

Here's an untested patch that fixes the problem, but I recommend 
someone with more time and/or X11-fu than me give it a review, as well 
as look through this chapter for other occurrances.
