--- Comment #26 from nogcjx@fastmail.fm ---
(In reply to Dimitry Andric from comment #18)

The patch does work for me for 10.2, so that's good news.

Related to the 10.1 situation, Dimitry said:

My old install of 10.1 still runs in my kvm/qemu virtual environment, but I
tried create a new one with the old 10.1 install disk and I got the same error.
 I'm not sure where I created the old install that still runs (I have been
running different OSs and I ship the binary image to other computers) but the
one I created today was on a Debian 8 host.  Maybe that means the kvm/qemu
environment changed, but now that the patch works it is a moot point. 



thanks to everybody.


For a recap:

1) Install 10.2 in your KVM/qemu environment and be sure to include the ports
tree.

2) download the patch -- the web page does not work for my seamonkey browser,
but the file can be retrieved with this curl command (if the backslashes work
correctly in this forum):
<code>

curl -L --url
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=160694\&action=diff\&context=patch\&collapsed=\&headers=1\&format=raw
 -o patch-Xserver-hw-xfree86-os-support-misc-Makefile.in

</code>

3) put the downloaded text  into a new file named
patch-Xserver-hw-xfree86-os-support-misc-Makefile.in saved to
/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/files.

4) from the command line, change directory to
/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server and run
make install BATCH=yes

5) you probably have to make and install /usr/ports/xorg too.

6) run startx to run the graphical desktop.

7) you might have conflicts if you try to install other things from pkg, so you
might have to use ports to install other packages???
