Simply do the following: # cd /usr/ports/x11/xev/ # make fetch # make extract # make patch # cd work/xev-1.1.0 and you'll find xev.c and all other files belonging to that program. Note that my installation here is quite old (8-STABLE as of summer 2011) so there might be a newer version of xev in the ports collection already. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
