Are you asking about HAL or X? I already answered this question if it's about HAL. I don't deviate from FreeBSD defaults for fun. In general we accept whatever options the ports defines. We just particularly don't like HAL on by default so it was removed as a default option where possible. If it's still pulled in that's because it is a fixed dependency (it can't build without it and there's no option to skip it) We've not done anything similar with "X". John
