I've been struggling now for 2 weeks trying to do the xorg upgrade,
following the upgrading instructions to a tee, but it has turned into a
complete mess.
If worse comes to worse, what it the best way to proceed?
Is there an easy way just to reinstall xorg from scratch?
Thanks a lot in advance.

In such cases the best would be to deinstall xorg with all
dependencies and install xorg from scratch.
Believe or not, I tried to install a new computer over the weekend. I
installed only the base system from the CD, and tried to install with
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
make
make install
portupgrade -a
rehash
portinstall xorg-server
The result was a message saying that I should read /usr/ports/UPDATING
and follow the instructions there to upgrade from 6.9 to 7.2. Even after
I installed portupgrade-devel and "setenv XORG_UPGRADE" I still had
trouble installing xorg 7.2 I'm not talking about upgrading, this was a
new install. I believe there are problems with the xorg server in the
ports tree, but I had no time to send in a report. I just fixed it by
hand. If some of you is going to install a new machine in the future,
please run it inside "script" and send a bug report.
Best,
Laszlo
