So please help me. I'm not a developer, but XFree86-4 will not be included in 4.3-release, primarily because it does not yet support many older cards. There is an easy solution, though: install XFree86-4 from the ports collection. Then specify the following in your /etc/make.conf: NO_X=true XFREE86_VERSION=4 All other ports with an XFree86 dependency build flawlessly. -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
