Hello, Erm, so I tried upgrading XFree ports and the results of this can be seen at http://www.ijs.si/software/freebsd-local/cvsweb.cgi So far, these are ports that XFree86-4 metaport depends on. This has been tested on i386, alpha and sparc64, and pkg-plist files have been verified on these archs. Unfortunately I haven't got AMD64 or ia64 to play with so I can not check pkg-plists there, which mostly affects the Server port. As I took XFree86-4-Server-snap as starting point for the Server port and it is marked as BROKEN on AMD64, I don't even know if it compiles there, but I suspect something should be added in scripts/configure, similar to other architectures. If somebody is already working on upgrading these ports, I do apologise for intruding. If however this makes some sense as a starting point, I would be happy if someone can help me get this finished and submitted in a way that would be easiest to commit. In any case, I am now running XFree86 4.4 port on my desktop on current and if nothing else, the default colors for xterm are changed, so the default for directories in ls is much more visible :) Hope that this helps in some way. Dejan
