Dear Dejan Lasjak,

thanks for abusing this thread, to provide some in depth insight
on the ports part of the story.  Please allow me to abuse this to
jump at You with more questions.

Do I understand You correctly that:

1) Soon (before end of July) ports will have a system that allows
to use either X.org or XFree86, at users choice.

2) Soon (before end of July) dri will get updated in ports.

3) Soon (before end of July) Xfree86-4-clients gets a patch that
repairs xdm under FreeBSD-4.10.

4) Soon (see above) XFree86 will get upgraded to 4.4(.0).

5) There is no need for helping hands, as the most competent persons
are already working their ass off to get everything done right (tm).

Regards, Robert S.
