[solved] Xfce on FreeBSD with XFree86 - Is it possible?

Hello, I'm going to install Xfce 4.2  on FreeBSD 7.1 with XFree86 4.8.0
XFree86 works normally (I see cross onto the blask-white background when running XFree86)

AFAIK, standard for X11 now is xorg, not XFree86.
Does it takes long to change standart Xfce's configs from xorg to XFree86?

Thanks in advance, sorry for english

Problem solved. I have installed orthodox Xorg ))

Xfree86 is obsolete. All works fine under Xorg from ports.
A lot of drivers from XFree86 works under Xorg through ports also.

People, use ports only, do not try to build packages from sources in FreeBSD! )
