Sorry, but the ports collection is tracking 2.2-STABLE > and -current. You should upgrade your XFree86 installation. I knew and expected to be suggested as above. But maybe it is also true that backward compatibility is quite useful for those who are difficult to synchronize -STABLE or -current for some reasons i.e. poor network connectivity, only have one main PC, etc. I also know that now committers are too busy to think about backword compatibility. I am sorry for disturbing you for such a small thing. I will be greatly appreciated when some committer kindly spend time to deal with this really simple patch. Best regards, --- MITA Yoshio
