Thus spake Fernando Sanchez (fsanchez@usfq.edu.ec) [24/06/04 18:07]: : Does anybody knows if xorg ports are working? I just updated my ports : tree before trying to switch from xfree to xorg, but I can't find any of : the ports in my tree, I checked at the http://freebsd.org/ports/ for : the xorg ports, for 5.2.1 there are no ports, for 5.2-current there are : some ports, but no packages. Any help here? The ports are working perfectly. There's some odd internal dependancies (I d/l'ed the fontserver package, and it depends on XFree86-something), and every time I update a package that depends on something from X11, it just assumes that it's an XFree86-something port that it's reading from, so I need to 'pkgdb -F'. Oddly, I also found the xorg ports to be faster. I really, truly do not know why. (And in case anyone's curious, I'm using the NVidia specific driver. Not that it should matter.) I just checked ftp.freebsd.org, and it's true, there aren't any binary packages. Odd, as I installed two of 'em last week. But source building (on -CURRENT) works like a charm.
