If so, how? It don't show up in >pkg_info. Yes you should remove it first It should be in there, try this command: ls /var/db/pkg | more Then remove it: pkg_delete -f XFree86-3.3.6 <---or whatever version you have, the first command should tell which version you have. >- Do I need to recompile/reinstall my X apps?

Make sure you put this line in your /etc/make.conf file: XFREE86_VERSION= 4 > >Please forgive my fooolishness > >-- >thursday@sdf.lonestar.org >SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
