The portmaster update of X completed successfully. Starting X by itself (X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf) gave a black screen, like it had crashed. Tried "X -configure" and "X -config ./xorg.conf.new". Same thing. Tried a couple of different xorg.conf files, tried without a config file. All gave black screens, similar to a crash of the X server or a driver bug. Deleted every port on the system and did a clean install of just xorg. Same thing, black screen. On a whim, I tried "xinit /usr/local/bin/xterm" ... ... ... and saw a black screen with a tiny xterm in the corner. Great ... so things were working from the get go. So, after 2 days of compiling, I have a barebone KDE4 desktop running on Xorg 7.5, with at least another 2 days of compiling before things are back to where they were originally. :( At least that should be noted in UPDATING. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
