	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
