Default configuration for xorg-drivers (WTF?)

Robert,

Thanks for your quick response.

Hummm... OK.  I learned something today.

So, ah, basically you're telling me that "portsnap fetch update" DOES NOT
flush out old/crusty/outdated port config files, yes?

I confess, that I didn't know that.  (I was under the naive impression
that "portsnap fetch update" made everything lovely, beautiful, and, most
importantly, current.  I guess not.  Oh well.  Forewarned is forearmed.
Thanks for the info.)

As to my other question, I'm still looking for some reassurance:

Is the current openchrome driver safe for mere mortals like me (e.g.
when used with K8M890) ?
