Also, I was one of the lucky people that had a successful upgrade the first time on an up to date 6.2 release box. I just followed the directions in UPDATING to a T and it was very, very long but fairly smooth. I use XFCE, however, so I can't speak for the K folks. -Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did _not_ install the old xorg (you could remove it). After updating the ports tree, the x11/xorg port installed without problems. It took a while, though.

Once Xorg has been upgraded I've never been able to start X server again , I use KDE so I start X server with the kdm command. Thanks a lot for any help I, like others, have successfully upgraded from Xorg 6.x to 7.x. I have three computers that were upgraded using the instructions within the UPDATING file. All three are running KDE. However, if you are starting from complete scratch, why not just install a base FreeBSD setup from the CD. Then after you either csup (or cvsup) or portsnap the latest copy of the ports tree, install Xorg. The Xorg on the distribution CD is pre 7.x. Why not start right out on 7.x. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, what else to tell you as I too had no problems whilst not following the official directions. I de installed X 6.9.x all the dependent software; installed X 7.x; rebuild+reinstalled the needed software.
