As you might already know, new X Window System has been released by X.Org a couple of days ago. There are two alternative build systems - release 6.9 is build as previous and as is expected by current ports so upgrading to this one should be less trouble. X.Org 7.0 release is split up into many separate packages and uses autotools instead of imake, which will require some restructuring of ports and will probably take a while. That is why I think X.Org ports could be first upgraded to 6.9 so we get the features, bugfixes, driver updates sooner as well as new way of loading modules which will avoid breaking X server for amd64 users after new malloc is imported in CURRENT. Anyhow, the first cut of patch for ports tree to upgrade X.Org ports to 6.9.0 is here: http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg/xorg-69/xorg-up-690-1.patch It also does away with separate mtree file for xorg-* and dependent ports so it touches a few of other ports as well. Things work well so far on amd64 with NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT. Dejan
