Indirect Rendering on Xorg 7.2 and other problems

I installed my 6.2-RELEASE without X.org <http://x.org/> and later did a
clean install of X.org <http://x.org/> 7.2 from the ports (i.e. I did not
upgrade from 6.9->7.2), and I already have the symlink ( X11R6 -> /usr/local
) in /usr. I'm not quite sure if what you said still applies to me though...


Thanks for the reply, btw :)
