It seemed to take *forever* and I ran into a few bumps along the way but they were not due to the xorg update itself. I had a few ports build-failures from the first portupgrade -a which ended up requiring that pkgdb -F be ran. That resulted in installing some missing xorg parts. In the end, I had to do a pkgdb -L to fix up some dependencies followed by a couple of forced portupgrades to have a "clean" set of packages before running the final merge script which found some long-forgotten cruft. It was no surprise that a few things cropped up considering the number of ports touched by the update. In the end, all seemed well and any applications I've tried work as expected. Perhaps its my imagination but the new xorg does seem snappier. Thanks again for tackling this huge job! Randy --
