Yes, I am sure. >From /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk (this is the code that actually sets the default): .if ${OSVERSION} >= 502123 X_WINDOW_SYSTEM ?= xorg .elif (${OSVERSION} >= 450005 && !defined(XFREE86_VERSION)) || \ (defined(XFREE86_VERSION) && ${XFREE86_VERSION} == 4) X_WINDOW_SYSTEM ?= xfree86-4 .else X_WINDOW_SYSTEM ?= xfree86-3 .endif The default is XFree86-4 for 4.x (except for early 4.x releases where XFree86-3 is still the default.) For 5.x the default is X.org. > > See UPDATING in /usr/ports: > > 20040723: > AFFECTS: users of FreeBSD-current, users of xorg > AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and has been replaced by > the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable.
