Hi, Is there a way to upgrade xorg without upsetting my install of KDE? I compiled KDE 4.2.1 from ports am worried I might break a dependency. I am scared of having to rebuild the entire thing again and find that it hasnt fixed the issue. Have you seen this issue before? I have xorg-server-1.5.3_5,1 installed at present.
