I'm sorry fellows. You guys have given me great support and apparently I didn't get back to you. I'm sorry, I'm not very polite some times. I will try to be more careful about this. Okay -- I was able to get my mouse working. I made a ServerFlags section in my xorg.conf and suddenly!, my mouse moved. (Here you can assume a remark not in evidence...) Next, I have wonderful X sessions now. Next, I am prepared to nuke the /usr/ports area if I am told to do that -- I know it can be mechanically rebuilt in about an hour. (A past note from Kenneth gave me this instruction and while I was a little nervous I did it; And wow!, I was so impressed as I watched it come back.) Question: Does the rebuild process examine the pkg_info results and load up the directory appropriately?. or is it "one size fits all?" Question: Does anyone have a solution for doing a general machine backup to one file? So that I can back the machine up and later, subsequently, perform a simple restore. Because I've been using the machine very heavily now, and I usually find that my own manual backups miss one thing or another... You've probably had the same experience. Now, I see others asking for such a feature/mechanism. What's possible? As for gcc44, I am fairly certain that it's actually broken -- that the port itself is broken and that it isn't my incompetence, that the port itself is mis-configured or mis-coded. Oh., and in a conversation with an HP technical representative recently, he told me that my taking down windoz to install FreeBSD constituted a "machine downgrade."
