Funny thing happened to me on a new install... I installed 7.0 on a notebook because I wanted to (FINALLY!) see kde4 and I found out it was in ports. Plus I'm looking at just leaving FreeBSD on this system seeing as I can't get my TV card to work even on linux anymore. So I installed, ran portsnap fetch extract, cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4, and make install clean. A day and a half later, the install is finished so I run kdm. Not found so I run a find search and then run /usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm. It comes up saying it can't find and run the Xserver on display :0. What the?! So I run a search on pkg_version -v and find xorg is not installed- what the?! Maybe I'm missing something here, but I thought installing kde4 would install xorg (I'm pretty sure it has before if I remember right- it has been a while, but I'm sure I'm not that daft) as it kinda needs it to run and ports generally install dependencies. Has someone forgotten this in the Makefile? Not trying to be picky, but I thought it might more sense and offer my view :)
