Basically, the problem revolves around the way that sysinstall does "fixups" - if you're doing a full installation, all the fixups get run once and the ones pertinent to XFree86 are executed as expected. If you add *only* XFree86 as an afterthought, however, then the fixups don't get run (they only run when bin is extracted) and you get the behavior above. What needs to happen is something closer to a callout list mechanism where various release bits add callouts for the appropriate fixups. I'll do this after 3.0 goes out the door (so we'll at least have it for the follow-on snapshots and next release) but didn't want to risk it beforehand. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
