Hmm... how might one know that a given driver is out of date?  As long
as I can do so without loss of functionality, I'll happily reduce the
number of installed ports....  :-}

Aye; it did; thanks!

I figured it would be adequate for my purposes....

Right.  The others would have been automagically installed from
installing the x11/xorg meta-port with minimal changes from the default
options.

I'm trying to be at least reasonable about keeping things up-to-date;
how might I take appropriate evasive action to reduce the probability of
a recurrence of this sort of thing?

Thanks again -- being stuck with a handful of vtys was crampiing my
style....  :-}

Peace,
