I'm running XFree86-4.0.3. I notice that when I build an X application (i.e., xemacs), XFree86-3.3.6 appears to get built as well . At least I think it does -- at the end of the install process, one of the packages that gets "cleaned" is XFree86-3.3.6. Here's what I think is happening. Make calls for the earlier version because that's its default behaviour. It retrieves and (maybe) builds it, but doesn't install it because it finds that a later version of X is already installed. Is this correct? I've added "XFree_Version=4" to /etc/make.conf but it doesn't seem to affect this behaviour. Thanks.
