X seams to be working now, somewhat. I use windowmaker as the desktop windowmanager for the root. Entering the command "startx" as root, windowmaker starts up and looks fine. However, I can't open a terminal window in it. The default twm windowmanager crashes. No error messages go to the log but I get a line:
Xauth: (argv):1 bad display name "nedsbsd.cox.net:0" in "list" command
and two others of like nature as messages after x crashes.
I entered "nedsbsd" as a display name when I initially installed FreeBSD several months ago. I had no clue what it the install program was asking for at that time and figured I could change it later. It didn't seam to cause any problems so I neglected to change it.
I generally cvsup my ports and fetch the index right before I do any upgrading. Even if it's just the next day. Never know when something new is going to pop in that could cause a make to crash.
I took down the optimizations you suggested. The lines currently have no meaning to me, so I'll need to read up a bit. I've been running FreeBSD for less than a year and I've had no computer experience or training outside very basic MS windows. So many things are new and many are incomprehensible at first look. Dispite that I feel far more comfortable and secure using FreeBSD than I ever did using Windows. That's why I'll keep plugging away.
