I've not seen the specific problems you mention, but have seen various other oddnesses since upgrading. So unusable is my machine now that I have bitten the bullet and am downgrading to 6.7.0. Check out portdowngrade in sysutils/ - it has proven its worth on several occasions. =20 As someone mentioned yesterday, switching back to XFree86 is probably=20 not to be recommended - Xorg is now the officially endorsed X11 implementation, and in time anyone still running XFree is likely to run up against problems as the two code-trees diverge. I intend to keep an eye on the lists and see what happens - I'm sure that before long, the port maintainers will work their magic and fix the brokenness anyway, and we can all upgrade safely.
