Recently reinstalled 4.4 on a box. Before installing X, I cvsup'ed, including ports, and then installed XFree86 4. Until a recently, this would have installed 4.1.x. Now, it's been upgraded to 4.2.0 Unfortunately, for whatever reason, while 4.1 worked perfectly on this particular box, 4.2 has various problems. If I simply edit the line in the Makefile that says PORTVERSION = 4.2.0 and change it to 4.1.0 will that solve my problem, or will there then be various other conflicts that I don't know enough to see.
