Either eat the cost and grab the distfiles, or write your own port update to go (back) to using XFree86 4.4. When I committed the update to use xorg, it added a pile of new hardware support that XFree86 4.3 didn't have, which was why I felt it was justified. Now, XFree86 4.4 users could just use that release. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
