Thanks for the pointer to the blog. With hindsight, it seems that your student avoided the issue I ran into by installing precompiled binaries, whereas I was using the Ports collection. The problem was the Clang miscompilation of xorg-server, as pointed out so kindly by Jung-uk Kim. Have you, or anybody else, sent a PR on this? I used xorg-server with clang until recently. Now I'm on r249781. I think the problem started after the perl updates, but I might be wrong. Anyway, if nobody filed a PR yet, I'll do it. Anton
