--- Comment #14 from Samuel Orr <uraharakisuke153@gmail.com> ---
I can confirm with FreeBSD 10. After a fresh installation I installed the
packages for xorg/gdm. After a reboot the X server crashes repeatedly. I had to
boot to single user mode, and force removed the xf86-video-intel package. Using
Vesa the x server worked. After a lot of reading, I narrowed the issue down to
cairo as seen here. Using portdowngrade to install cairo-1.10 the x server
works using xf86-video-intel (2.7) with no issues.

Opinion:
I would assume the intel brand gpus are heavily used. Breaking them on a
production quality release seems like a major issue. The maintainer's log of
cairo 1.12 states it was blocking "pango and gtk30". I would suggest perhaps
requiring WITH_NEW_XORG to install the newer cairo? Though I don't know the
trade offs, but a cryptic xorg crash was quite frustrating.
