I've been massaging UberMon for SuperKaramba for my FreeBSD systems. I'd like to be able to run a command that will yield which X window system is installed and what version. I've done it with something like startx -- -version, but this is problematic if X windows is running (which is the scenario I need it to work in). Even then, I'd have to grep for "XFree86 Version" so it isn't a general solution that would work for systems already switched to x-org. Any deas?
