The upgrade to 5.3 fixed the Dri build problems. Thanks for the hint, Jason. It is much appreciated. I had to run xorgconfig to make a new config file in order to get the X server going again. My kde desktop keeps crashing but the Windowmaker desktop I installed runs. It doesn't run perfectly but at least I know X works. I will try using the force switch on portupdate to redo those ports I originally I upgraded in 5.2. As for your p pro question. It must be a default in some makefile. I'm too much of a newbie to even know what p pro is. :-)
Sorry about not including the prior message. But I'm still working off a Knoppix disk.
Thanks
Ned

Your'e welcome.
I think you have somethings not fully upgraded to have some of those problems. I hear it is kind of a comman problem with big ports like kde for some of the dependancies not to be built. Portmanager is a new program I have found and like it. It is not as full featured as portupgrade, but it is nice. Install it, it is a very quick compile, less than a min. Then run "portmanager -s | grep OLD" as root. It will tell you everything that is out of date, be sure to cvsup ports and "cd /usr/ports && make fetchindex" first.
Did you rebuild x after you update to 5.3? You will need to. Try portupgrade -fRr xorg.
If you want to optimize you programs have a look at /etc/make.conf. You can check out /usr/share/example/make.conf first. The p pro stands for pentium pro. It is very old, pre pII. It is also a default setting to optimise for that can help most modern x86 processors. If you want to set some make options here is mine, note you may need to change the processor type.
