Any ideas?  I'd like to take a swing at compiling KDE on it.
XFree86, from the ports tree (and the dfports tree) will build just
fine.  KDE and Gnome, however, both fail to build at this time.
I disagree... the regular ports tree XFree86 failed on my box.
but I was building the server.
You can build X if you have the dfports installed.

I have dfports.  I don't see an X server anywhere in there.  Is it just
the libs and I will have to display elsewhere?  If so I can do that.

I am still interested in seeing why KDE doesn't build. :)
Those are just trivial structure name changes. Aren't you a
KDE com-miter ? Perhaps you can push those _DragonFly_
changes into their tree.
Yes I am ;).  I need X to work before I can do that.  This is one of my
goals.
