To support the i810 video, I needed to install XFree86-4 from the latest
ports.

Originally I installed XFree86 as part of sysinstall, via the 'net using a
4.1.1-Release boot floppy.  I assume this is a package since I can't find
any source code.  However, I don't remember seeing an XFree86 package in
/var/db/pkg.  (My home system, which still runs XFree86 from the 3.x days
definitely doesn't have a package in /var/db/pkg (I'm trying to figure out
how to update to the latest package on that machine, which lacks disk space
to build the port.))

Thanks,
MikeC

		Did you install X from ports or a package? I have noticed in
the past if
		you ALREADY have X installed if you upgrade it will
*sometimes* mess up.
