Cvsup. In the end, i have done: portmanager /usr/Ports/X11/ -f -l. pkgdb -F /usr/ports/x11/xorg Now i have the version 7.02 of xorg. when i do Xorg -config /root/xorg.config, i have as response: could not read default font fixed. what does it mean? what i must do? i have choosed in xorg.conf.new: modes 1024x768, defaultdepht 24; note that the new version of xorg recognise my driver, the 6.09 version did n't do that, i was in vesa not nvidia driver. thak you; In few minits, i will do your proposition.
