If you still have xorg-7.2 packages this is the fastest: (cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make all-depends-list)|xargs pkg_delete -f env PKGDIR=/path/to/packages/All pkg_add /path/to/packages/All/xorg-7.2.tbz If not, you need to revert your ports tree to pre-xorg 7.3 AFTER the pkg_delete command, using a reldate in your ports-supfile. Unfortunately since the xorg-modular joy[1] there's no good way to make portupgrade ignore an upgrade via HOLD_PKGS, so you need to go back to manual upgrading, deciding port by port what you can upgrade and don't use -R or -r in case a dep on X is pulled in. [1] I still have to see the advantage of it, cause so far 1 or 2 drivers have been updated independently and the 200+ more paths in /var/db/pkg plus the inability to hold an xorg installation from portupgrade -a outweigh this significantly. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Have you tried the nv(4x) driver? Works fine with my nvidia card, although I believe it hasn't got some of the advanced features of the proprietary driver. It's in ports: x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv, if not installed. -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi did you start X with startx -- -ignoreABI ? Usually this works like a charm.

How to downgrade from xorg-7.3 to xorg-7.2 ...
Hi there, Since I recently upgraded to xorg-7.3, I cannot use my laptop because nvidia has not yet provided an upgraded driver. I've tried all the recommended workarounds for tweaking the xorg.conf file but to no avail. My question then is: how can I safely downgrade back to xorg-7.2?
