The 5.3 packages on FreeBSD's FTP servers are 6.7.0. After looking a bit and not really finding a solution to my problem, I just downloaded the binary packages and downgraded back to 6.7.0. (This is probably a lot easier than compiling, since you'd probably have to use portdowngrade on a lot of ports, or do it manually, or some such.) > What do I do now? Reinstall FreeBSD?

It's been the same X11R6 for years. ;) -- Adam Fabian (afabian@austin.rr.com)
