Robert,
Thanks for your quick response.

Hummm... OK. I learned something today.
So, ah, basically you're telling me that "portsnap fetch update" DOES NOT
flush out old/crusty/outdated port config files, yes?
I confess, that I didn't know that. (I was under the naive impression
that "portsnap fetch update" made everything lovely, beautiful, and, most
importantly, current. I guess not. Oh well. Forewarned is forearmed.
Thanks for the info.)
As to my other question, I'm still looking for some reassurance:

Is the current openchrome driver safe for mere mortals like me (e.g.
when used with K8M890) ?
