This was done to get more exposure, because the first mail didn't get much reaction. When replying please only reply to freebsd-x11@, freebsd-ports@ and freebsd-stable@ are only used to get this a bigger audience. Greetings! This is a weird call for testers. First off before the real CFT. We are interested if people are still using 8.x for there desktop. Is there a specific reason for not updating to 9.x or 10.x? So in our quest for push Xorg on FreeBSD further, we are looking for people to test cairo 1.12 primarily with the old Xorg stack. We know that the graphics with the 2.7.1 intel driver are horribly broken (lots of artifacts) so people don't need to test that, but what is the state of the other xorg video drivers with cairo 1.12? If problems arise after the update, a screenshot and details about installed ports and your hardware should be enough. But if your using the intel driver with old xorg please chime in too, this will give us a beter idea about the user base. While this CFT is focused on the non-WITH_NEW_XORG that should not stop people that are using WITH_NEW_XORG from trying it out. The Intel/Radeon KMS drivers shouldn't have any problem with cairo 1.12. To apply the patch do the following: Download the patch from [1]. cd /usr/ports patch -p0 < /path/to/cairo-1.12.16.diff rebuild cairo -Koop [1] http://people.freebsd.org/~kwm/cairo-1.12.16.diff
