The upgrade to Xorg 7.2 is not exactly "easy" but if you follow the directions it will probably be fine.

Make sure you carefully read and understand the /usr/ports/UPDATING entry which begins:

Welcome, fearless user! You are about to embark upon a mystical
journey to the world of xorg 7.2.

Note the CAVEATS section as well. If you have questions, it's better to ask them before you attempt the upgrade.

Learning to use the documentation from FreeBSD. I think that's the most important lesson. I did it here. It's working perfectly. As people says in the forums : RTFM. I really feel sorry.

Thanks again anomie. I think you've reached buddhahood by making such a demonstration of patience reading my threads and answering to them.

c ya.
