I think the howls of protest would have been audible from the moons of Jupiter had 6.1-RELEASE shipped without a complete set of workable X windows ports / packages. No, you are definitely experiencing a problem with your own machine and not with the FreeBSD release. However important such software may be, it is not actually a part of the base system. portupgrade(1) is your friend in this case, not 'make buildworld'. If you are updating from 5.x to 6.x then you should be sure to reinstall all your ports / packages. A command line of the form: portupgrade -Niaf will get that job done. There are various alternative options you might want to consider employing, such as telling portupgrade to use packages rather than re-compiling everything from source: the man page for portupgrade will elucidate. You need to do this not because 5.x programs won't work on a 6.x system (they manifestly will run if the compat5x shlibs are installed) but because any future software update runs the risk of different parts of the same program being linked against= different versions of a shared library and consequently failing to work.
