Ok, so this is the soource fo the problem. Right, that makese sense.

I can reinstall it, but I am not sure how to ensure it gets the right
version.

> Here's what I get when I search for xf86-video-ati on FreeBSD 10:

This is what I get:

$ pkg search xf86-video-ati
xf86-video-ati-6.14.6_3
xf86-video-ati-6.14.6_3

So, it looks like it is finding the same one in each repository.

This is what pkg -vvv gives me as its list of repositories:

Repositories:
  FreeBSD: { 
    url             : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest",
    enabled         : yes,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }
  FreeBSD_new_xorg: { 
    url             : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/new_xorg",
    enabled         : yes,
    mirror_type     : "SRV",
    signature_type  : "FINGERPRINTS",
    fingerprints    : "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
  }

So it looks like I am using the right repository. Will re-install
and see if I can get it to tell me which repository it is getting
the package from.

-pete.
