I guess I misread.

[Blah Blatz]

I thought that I followed the directions in UPDATING regarding Xorg 7.2, but, uh, I guess I didn't.  My computer now seems beyond repair, with respect to X.  I'm strongly considering giving up, wiping the hard drive, reinstalling FreeBSD, and restoring my personal stuff from backups.

So, my questions:

If I do that, and install the latest xorg on a completely fresh FreeBSD box:

Do I have to set XORG_UPGRADE (or whatever it's called)?

Should I still use portupgrade-devel instead of portupgrade? I would rather just use portupgrade, if I can.

Do I have to follow any of the other directions in UPDATING regarding this... stuff?

Or can I just do a normal old "cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg; make install" without any of the special new exciting xorg crap in UPDATING?

I have googled about this, but have found seemingly conflicting statements, which is why I am explicitly asking.

Thank you in advance for any help.
