In the Have you tried updating to the latest version of the port? I fixed some breakage shortly after the introduction of XF86 4.1, but I don't remember exactly what the breakage was. In any case, I'm going to be building it for myself sometime in the next few days, I'll fix the port if it needs it.

One of the reasons why I never tried hard to get it working on FreeBSD/alpha :-( Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
