I built the newer Xorg and it falls flat: goes to a nongraphic screen that is blank except for a rectangular cursor in the upper left corner, and now I want to get back to the earlier Xorg. System is Intel Sandy Bridge with i7 CPU. What parts do I have to rebuild (use portmaster?), and what do I have to reconfigure? I still haven't built ports for my FreeBSD i386 installation on Kingston Data Traveler 16 GB USB stick, so I could possibly try that first. Old computer is down apparently because of a fan or fans that quit; find new fans for a 2001 computer or buy parts for new? I am now on Insight webmail using Midori browser on not-so-new System Rescue CD; new computer with 16 GB RAM. I can get back to FreeBSD, but no GUI, no X11 for now until I rebuild.
