BTW, the Mesa we > have in ports seems to be 7.4.4, not 7.6.1. 7.4.4 is the default. If you have WITHOUT_NOUVEAU defined (I do) you get 7.6.1 (see graphics/libGL/bsd.mesalib.mk). > Some references I can point to: > > 1. http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2011/05/the-compositing-modes-of-kde-plasma-workspaces-explained/ > 2. http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace/ae63f84ba102cff532adbf403ac088522365425f > 3. http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace/afe966579d56f85444c432a3a6adf026d2941bd5 Thanks.

So it seems like even the newest version we support in ports is an antique :(. I'm going to guess upgrading it is not going to be easy. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
