I've upgraded KDE 3.2->3.3 and now X won't run. It starts and displays 
the message "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." in a 
undecorated window with an OK button which, when clicked, exits X. In 
the console it shows:

waiting for X server to shut down

OK, so I need to install libXinerama, no problem - or so I thought. 
There ia no 5-current package available yet so I tried building the 
port, but:

===>   libXinerama-1.0.2 depends on file: 
/usr/X11R6/libdata/pkgconfig/xext.pc - not found
===>    Verifying install for /usr/X11R6/libdata/pkgconfig/xext.pc in

===>  xextensions-1.0.1_2 conflicts with installed package(s):
       XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_7

       They install files into the same place.
       Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).

Hmmm, if I delete XFree86-libraries then X won't run, and without 
libXinerama.so.1 KDE won't run  :-/

Anyone have a solution to this conundrum please?

My ports tree is up to date and I'm running

Thanks.
