But you end up with real X11 stuff in LOCALBASE and some other stuff in X11BASE while everything is being moved. This is a bit confusing. Anyway, we've have X11 in X11BASE for quite a few years now, it can wait two months before we move it :-) > For example, when I installed my new laptop I put "X11BASE=3D/usr/local= " > in /etc/make.conf, and everything worked fine, including a bunch of the= > ports that were broken when kris did his recent /usr/xorg run.
