Hi there, As Mark Linimon told me in response to my grumbling post of yesterday, there's just one person left active at the moment. So I'd like be a little bit more constructive this time: Is there any _limited_ area I can help to get that xorg thing into the ports tree in the conceivable future? What I have now is a working release 6.2 system, built around march 7, with xorg related ports from the git tree and X11BASE set to LOCALBASE. The hardware probably is kind of archaic, just an Athlon XP system and, yes, that _is_ special, a Matrox G550 connected to a real CRT. Sorry, didn't even try to get 3D working so far. Any hints what I can help? I understand C/C++, am used to poke around in the system code (but not to using the debugger) and do have an idea how ports work, but didn't dig into the xorg sources very deep so far. And sorry for my grumbling; it just seemed so naturally to me to commit at last 'cause everything was working seemed flawless to me - so it really was more of an encouragement ;-) Rainer
