Hrm. All I had to do to build XFree86 4.2 from ports was -- cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 && make install clean Nothing fancy there.. It will become a little more complicated when building it on a system with a GeForce2 Go video card, but all you should have to do is uninstall the X11 servers port, and rebuild it after patching.. 8< snip irrelevant material >8 Regards, Ben -- Ben Lovett <blovett@bsdguru.com> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Secret hacker rule #11: hackers read manuals.
