Nice. Which GCC version did you used for compiling all theses ports ? I don't get anymore a segfault but still gets that fatal error message about the missing font 'fixed'... It looks like the /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc path gets ignored by the fc-cache utility, even after having upgraded the x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps port, which is kinda odd btw. Anyway, I guess thats my problem since I've not bothered following the steps in mergebase.sh nor did I've used the xorg metaport. The funny thing about this 7.2 upgrade quest is that I didnt even plan to go into it :) Cheers, Etienne --- eculp@encontacto.net wrote: > Hello Etienne, > > After bringing all 600+ ports on this workstation up > to date taking > advantage of the -P option to portupgrade, I was > still getting the > same message so I bit the bullet and reran > portupgrade -rRfpy x11/xorg > and maybe 12 hours later, Xorg all works beautifully > plus I have local > packages for upgrading my other machines.
