It's usually not necessary to throw out all the ports, or all the xorg ports. If hal support is missing in xorg-server, just rebuilding xorg-server with the correct config should be enough. > Also the already mentioned /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse > > And then reinstall /usr/ports/x11/xorg (with a make config before) If necessary (usually not), it won't help unless you cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg make rmconfig-recursive make config-recursive And then rebuild, deinstall, and reinstall the appropriate ports. xorg-server for sure, maybe others. But I would ask again: what, exactly, is the problem to be solved? -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
