If you want to be on the safe side you are right install x11/xorg ... but then again ... if you really want to be on the really safe side ... stick with -RELEASE ;-) And btw i'm experiencing some crashes/locks with the new xorg ... 6.9 used to run for weeks without problems ... 7.2 still has to reach 24h without a problem - but maybe more on a new thread if i'll have more info. -- Best Regards, Iulian Margarintescu http://www.erata.net eti@erata.net (spamassassin & pf & spamd all said it's OK to make it public ;-) ) Key ID: 0x03176E5CEDEFF7AB I prefer plain text email [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGVVJTAxduXO3v96sRAjYsAJ9Qt+Nbdp5M6nMjLDbGxRQpTZGPwwCfapak oCFAKdxJfPhcfdxWw6O7Org= =QMgJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
