XFree86 on FreeBSD 5.2.1

[Moody, Bill]

It is a Mitek 8350 or 8355 depending on which document I look at.  I
purchased it through M-tech.  It appears to be a great laptop, but it is a
bit short on documentation.

When I attempted the port last night, it failed on depends.  I did not try
having it ignore the signatures.  I will give that a try tonight.

Best regards,

WJM

Try the XFree86-Server-4.3.99.15_2 version in
/usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server-snap
