Hi, i have written a howto for people willing to switch from XFree86 to xorg. Ok, at this time it is only available in german: http://www.bsdforen.de/showthread.php?p=39983#post39983 But i also have some questions about switching to xorg. (1) Will xorg be the default X in future FreeBSD Releases? (2) I have xorg running, without a problem, but if i install a new application with a XFree86 dependency i have to run "pkgdb -F" to fix the dependency to xorg stuff (and imake-6). If i change /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and the entries about XFree86 and imake-4 to xorg and imake-6, the change will not be permanent (cvsup will overwrite the change): [...] LIB_DEPENDS+= X11.6:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xorg-libraries [...] .if defined(USE_IMAKE) BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${X11BASE}/lib/X11/config/date.def: ${PORTSDIR}/devel/imake-6 RUN_DEPENDS+= mkhtmlindex:${PORTSDIR}/devel/imake-6 [...] So, is there another way to fix that permanently or a work-around? asg
