For the currently applicable definition of "work," no. I get a warning
message from X.org every time I boot.

According to Gmail, I did. I copied the file from the email I sent :)

I burned the 6.2-RELEASE CD from freebsd.org. After installing a lot of

portupgrade -a
. Surely, I should have the same or newer than the release by then? Also,
pkg_version -vIL=
right now doesn't list X.org.
