Previously, if you wanted to use x.org instead of XFree86, a package was your best bet. However, the FreeBSD port appears to be up to date, and may build correctly.

A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
Well, it looks like FreeBSD has decided to make the switch to X.org for 5.3-RELEASE (it seems to be the default now in -CURRENT), so does this mean that DragonFly will be doing so as well? I seem to recall Matt Dillon taking a wait and see approach to this, and saying something along the lines of doing what FreeBSD does here…
It didn’t:
/usr/libexec/binutils212/elf/ld: cannot find -lXThrStub
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries/work/xc/lib/X11.
*** Error code 1
Well, that was hardly helpful. You failed to mention what you did, and on what OS.
It tries to compile with “*gnumalloc” which breaks the build on DragonFly.
I got it from the binary package.
I tried on my Duron 2000+ running DragonFly BSD 1.1-CURRENT #10
