When you go from one major version to the next (ie. 10.* to 11.*) then you should use ports that have been rebuilt using 11. It's not necessary when the minor version is incremented ie. 10.2 to 10.3 You might be able to get away with installing the port: misc/compat10x, which should allow softs built on 10.* to run on 11.* For something complicated like X, I'd definitely want to rebuild with my new base system. After an incremented major version, I'd update my ports tree, install misc/compat??x and rebuild all my ports using portupgrade. Nowadays, I use poudriere and pkg upgrade. With regards your X problem, you should be able to get a definitive reason for it crapping itself by grovelling through /var/log/Xorg.0.log Regards, -- Frank https://woodcruft.co.uk/
