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. -- Best Regards, Iulian Margarintescu http://www.erata.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] (spamassassin pf spamd all said it's OK to make it public ;-) ) Key ID: 0x03176E5CEDEFF7AB I prefer plain text email pgpldVinlLuWw.pgp Description: PGP signature

You don't tell us the output of your complete mess. The best way to proceed is follow step by step what say the file /usr/ports/UPDATING, chunk 20070519. It's the more simple and easy way for get Xorg 7.2 running on your FreeBSD 6.2 machine. Before do just this portupgrade -a i was triying with portmanager -u -l and others stuffs on my way, but it can't got it. Keep trying. It isn't very dificult. Regards.
