Upgrade was fine but then I did a regular upgrade of ports and lost X functionality. It turns out that the new X.org ports which were "opt in" in 9.2 are now "opt out" in 9.3, so I unintentionally upgraded X.org. I had also upgraded a couple of desktop systems to 9.3-RC1 but had not yet updated ports on those. Having experienced the problem on the notebook, I added WITHOUT_NEW_XORG=3D to /etc/make.conf on the desktops and they continue to function following ports upgrades. The purpose of this post to -stable@ is simply to suggest that there be something done in connection with X.org installation behaviour for 9.3-RELEASE (perhaps at least a warning in the Rlease Notes?) to incline towards POLA and not have other folks land in this predicament. --=20 John Marshall --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlO2FPsACgkQw/tAaKKahKKoLACeOZREWdjCrz66rabrcsyqCAmW VRUAnAraCfnbyNvk5LOJ0v5Ers6rWxrH =tzo1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --d6Gm4EdcadzBjdND--
