The following reply was made to PR ports/131016; it has been noted by GNATS.

Can you still reproduce the > problem you described with an up-to-date ports tree? FWIW, now I am back from my sabbatical. Having been away for a whole year, I upgraded my system to 7.3-STABLE, blew away and rebuilt the ports with the latest ports tree, and the X server now works pretty good. My only complaint is that it often does not exit cleanly, and if I then kill -KILL it, I get psychedelic screen syndrome and must reboot. (OTOH, who wants to log out anyhow? It's a desktop machine in my office. I xlock it when I go home.) Not sure if I can follow up a lot more. I expect to get new hardware in the not too distant future, and then the problem just might evaporate. - Harald
