I did a "dirty" thing and just ran the new patch on top of the
already patched system. Got some complaints that the patch was
there already, and was it OK. So I answered yes to all of it and
the patch applied on the missing parts. And since the system was
updated yesterday with the -7 patch, it was a few parts left.
XFree86-FontServer was one of them, and when I run
`portupgrade XFree86-FontServer` it does nothing, no upgrade.

Any suggestions? All the other parts are working though, except
for xdpyinfo which gives a lot of output but gives this strange
output:

# xdpyinfo
name of display:    :0.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The XFree86 Project, Inc
vendor release number:    0
XFree86 version: 0.0.0
-- cut --

This is a 4.7-STABLE machine or should I say 4.8-RC which it is.

By the way /var/log/Xfree86.0.log says:

XFree86 Version 4.3.0
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.8-RC i386 [ELF] 
Build Date: 05 March 2003
