Important:

Note to FreeBSD desktop users: please read this section + carefully, especially before upgrading ports that + depend on Xorg.

In April 2014, the FreeBSD Ports collection switched to a + newer version of Xorg that supports + KMS (Kernel Mode Setting).

Users upgrading from earlier versions of FreeBSD 9.x or + FreeBSD 8.x should be aware of several things regarding + Xorg:

+

  • When applications are built from the FreeBSD Ports + Collection or installed from the new_xorg + pkg(8) repository, the newer, KMS-aware version of + Xorg is used.

  • The KMS version of + Xorg does not switch back to + text mode after leaving the X desktop environment, and + the system console will not be visible. The new + vt(4) console driver supports graphic consoles and + keeps the console visible after X has exited. The + vt(4) driver must be compiled into the kernel. + A VT kernel configuration example + file is included in 9.3-RELEASE, but is not + compiled or enabled by default. See vt(4) and the + vt(4) wiki + page for additional information.

  • The older Xorg that does + not support KMS can still be + installed from the latest upstream + pkg(8) repository and the packages included on the + 9.3-RELEASE DVD.

    However, it is important to note that some newer + applications require the newer + Xorg, and will not work with + the old version. The newer + Xorg is recommended, and + should be used unless not compatible with legacy + graphics cards.

    To continue using the old version of + Xorg when building from the + FreeBSD Ports Collection, set + WITHOUT_NEW_XORG=yes in + make.conf(5).

    Packages for KDE4 are not + available in the default (latest) + pkg(8) repository, however are available in the + new_xorg repository. See the announcement + email for details on how to use the + new_xorg repository.
