Got some complaints that the patch was there already, and was it OK. So I answered yes to all of it and the patch applied on the missing parts. And since the system was updated yesterday with the -7 patch, it was a few parts left. XFree86-FontServer was one of them, and when I run `portupgrade XFree86-FontServer` it does nothing, no upgrade. Any suggestions? All the other parts are working though, except for xdpyinfo which gives a lot of output but gives this strange output: # xdpyinfo name of display: :0.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc vendor release number: 0 XFree86 version: 0.0.0 -- cut -- This is a 4.7-STABLE machine or should I say 4.8-RC which it is. By the way /var/log/Xfree86.0.log says: XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.8-RC i386 [ELF] Build Date: 05 March 2003 -- Gunnar Flygt, SR To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
