Xfree86 install on 5.1

2003-12-18 Thread Chris Neustrup 
I recently upgraded from 5.0 to 5.1 on my thinkpad.  When this worked 
OK, I tried to upgrade to the newest XFree86 4.30.x  It filed due to 
patch mismatches.  As I tried other earlier flavors of 4.X it never 
worked cleanly.   Does anyone have a suggestion to get a stable 3.X X 
server running again?

Peace, Chris

All things considered, I think it'd be much more worth your while to
determine the reason for your XFree86 4.x problems. When you tried to
install X, did you work from an updated ports tree?

Also note that 5.2 is due out next month. There's always the chance that,
if your problems are actually related to bugs, that they will be fixed in
the next release.

Any reason why you're not curious about why you saw the problem in the
first place?  It sounds like you have stale files in your ports
collection, probably by upgrading via cvsup without first adopting
your ports collection as described in the cvsup FAQ on
www.polstra.com.
