Yes, but I've been meaning to switch to modular xorg soon.

What's the easiest way to upgrade? Hmm.. That's a pretty stupid
question, since you just wrote that. But what I actually want to know is
what the best way to "start from scratch" is. If I want to remove all
packages which in any way depend on xorg, how would I go about doing
that? Or is it simpler to just remove all packages and start over?
Also, there were some discussions about modular xorg storing
xorg.conf in /etc/X11 rather than /usr/pkg/etc/ (or whatever the pkg
base is set to). Are there changes to this behavior to be expected?
