I installed a new video card in a 3.2 stable machine today, running XFree86-3.3.3. To get it running I needed to build a new server (Mach64). There didn't seem to be a straightforward way to build just the new server, so I decided to make clean/make to rebuild the entire port. This went without a hitch, and I now have the server I need. The problem arose when I started to install the port without first deinstalling the previous version. Make install complained and instructed me to make deinstall, then make reinstall. A subsequent make deinstall complained about numerous missing files, an invalid packing list, and proceeded to delete part of the previous install. The following make reinstall seemed to work, but didn't install any fonts under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. Since then I've done all combinations of make deinstall/make install/make reinstall that make sense with the same results. I'm now thinking that I cvsupped the port collection since my X install, and perhaps that has something to do with it. Still, I would think the packing list for the installed port would be accurate. I've now re cvsupped the ports, and am remaking XFree86-3.3.4. I'm hoping a clean build of this will get me up and running again. Anyone have a pointer as to what went wrong here?
