The Xorg part of this process went very smoothly.... (I had quite a few issues with stuff unrelated to X - gstreamer vs gstreamer80, gimp and cdrtools-devel, the last of which I have to sort out). There was an uneasy moment when X refused to start with no xorg.conf, but using one generated by 'X -configure' worked fine with HW accel and drm enabled (card is a Radeon 9550). Well done guys! So I would suspect that my missing the 'cd /usr/ports && make index' in the previous (7-CURRENT) upgrade is related to the font problem. The desktop seems a little slower, however there are other factors besides X that have changed (Gnome 2.18 vs 2.16 for instance). regards Mark
