xorg-drivers-7.3
I'm trying to update xorg-drivers-7.3 on an old machine. I didn't know that the i810 drivers do the job of the i740 drivers, so I selected i740 in the config screen when I ran portmanager. Unfortunately, this conflicts with i810, and unfortunately, this choice I made is preserved in some configuration data hidden somewhere. When I try to redo it, it picks up my previous choice instead of giving me the option of making a new choice. Found saved configuration for xorg-drivers-7.3_1 portupgrade and "Make distclean" followed by "Make" both give this message. I've tried searching, but the key words I use aren't getting me any information. What do I do to deselect i740, or to force portmanager to let me reselect my options? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Removing /var/db/pkg/xorg-drivers-7.3 worked, the "make config && portupgrade -f xorg-drivers" method gave me the same error message as before. However I don't really understand why this prefix thing shows up well after the upgrade from 6.9 to 7.2. Perhaps I cvsup'd at a bad time.
