Tweaking pkgtools.conf may help me if I move back to XFree,
and it's looking like I have no choice. xorg autoconfigs
itself to run at too high a res and nothing I do fixes it.
So, without highjacking this thread _too_ much, can anybody
give me the cmds to get back to XFree-4 on my 5.3 install?
I tried several days ago and got fouled up. What xorg*
ports do I have to pkg_delete before I cd to
/usr/ports/x11/XFree-4 and type a 'make install'?
thanks much,
gary
