Hrm, I think the wiki is out of date, or unclear, in regards to the separate ports tree. As of the latest Xorg updates which brought us up to v1.18 this is not necessarily needed. i am running drm-next kernel+world and installing all packages off of the freebsd.org pkg repository with success. this ports tree should still work, but is no longer a hard requirement - i'll block out some time to update the wiki today. -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
