So far I've tried everything you guys have suggested. This machine is a new install and would be easy to reinstall from scratch. Should I try that? Install everything but the X-related material and then install XFree86, KDE 3, and Qt 3 from there-on. ?? ~ Matthew -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Kent Stewart Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 6:25 PM To: Linh Pham Cc: MET; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: XFree86 Upgrade || XFree86 version Linh Pham wrote: > On 2002-08-15, MET scribbled: > > # Will installing from the ports wipe out my current version cleanly, > or # do I need to manually uninstall it first?

I didn't have to do anything but pkg_delete -r "XFree86*". Since everything that used it was for version 3.3.6, I had to reinstall everything. The other gotcha is leaving the version 3 /etc/XF86Config. I had to rename it before it would start and configure properly. Since you are getting qt-3.0.5_1 as broken, you may have XFREE86_VERSION set to version 3 in make.conf.
