Anyway, I added a line WITHOUT_DRI=YES to my make.conf (does that make sense?) as well as NO_SUID_ROOT=YES. I then removed all XFree86 packages and I removed imake as sugessted in the howto on www.freebsdforen.de Next steps: cd /usr/ports && patch < xorg-conv-1.diif make install clean of imake (6.7.0), succes make install clean of xorg-server, succes make install clean of xorg metaport, succes X -configure, succes pkg_add -r kde3 () echo "exec startkde" > .xinitrc startx...... and YES, succes! The build was succesfull, I haven't tested everything very well yet but it appears to be stable/usable. Next thing will be a portupgrade -a to get to kde 3.2 but then I'll have to patch with xorg-conv-3.diff because of a open-motif issue. something like somepath/deve/imake-6/devel/imake-4 appears (diff to the 'anholt' 1/3.diff files shows this should be resolved now). > > Other question: after this I want to apply the patch xorg-conv-1.diff > > and continue to install gnome/kde.
