Thank you very much Jean-Sébastien. That worked although I needed to do
a few extra things.

Firstly, I had the same problem with GLDEBUGPROCARB that you provided a
fix to Zenny for. I blew away all my xorg ports and started again which
fixed it.

Then I had a problem with glproto not being found. It looks like there's
a dependency on that missing somewhere. After I manually installed it,
everything built.

Now I can successfully start X and KDE - thank you!

There are a few things in my dmesg output that look a bit strange. I've
pasted it below in case there is a problem.

Also, I can't use Alt-F1 etc. to switch to other virtual consoles. And I
can't seem to kill X - I need to reboot. But both of those are very
minor problems.

Thanks again for your help,
    Graham
