Does this mean this hardware is too old and therefore unsupported by the new xorg software and necessary components? As I use KDE4 - version 4.10.5 currently - will I have to stick with the pkg(8) url "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release/0" for upgrading and installing packages? Or, can I still build the software on the machine using poudriere and specify 'WITHOUT_NEW_XORG' in order to benefit from the latest releases of KDE et al? If anyone is able to clarify those few things I'd be very grateful. Thanks for your time. Jamie.
