Like I said, I have no clue about 4stable, since it fails to build on
my box with that installed. But on 5.2.1, it works perfectly. That is
why I suggest recvsuping...

Well with portupgrade, after deinstall the XFree86 ones and installing
the Xorg ones, I would suggest running pkgdb -uF... that should
straigthen it all out...
