Actually, to the best of my knowledge, there is no such knob, not yet. Simple workaround for now: edit /usr/ports/x11/xorg/Makefile and comment out the line declaring the dri dependency. # ${X11BASE}/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/dri > Other question: after this I want to apply the patch xorg-conv-1.diff > and continue to install gnome/kde. Is this the right way to go? I don't know what that patch is, or why you'd want/need to apply it in order to install GNOME/KDE. Probably unnecessary. -- Conrad J. Sabatier -- "In Unix veritas"
