 flash to work is that I watch mlbtv, and it requires flash plugin to

 working just makes it so much easier... uhn


You may also consider a remote machine witch runs windows and to witch you 
connect using remote desktop. 
I'm very pleased with this setup - desktop computer with no 
monitor/keyboard/mouse runs windows under the desk and i use freebsd on the 
laptop on witch windows is just another windows. The only thing i don't have 
is alt-tab on windows.

  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.



hi,

Depending on your setup it might be a good idea to remove All the ports 
installed and check /usr/local ( i guess /usr/X11R6 is already a symlink ) 
for orphaned files that might get in the way of a new install. 

To speed up the initial install of xorg you could use binary packages and if 
you feel like it recompile after from ports... at least you will have X 
working in the meantime.
