Hey all,

Judging from the threads in questions, it seems the new Xorg has caused
lots of trouble to users upgrading from 7.3 or installing for the first
time (myself included). As there are a few important configuration
changes (which I doubt will be undone by newer Xorg versions - it will
probably get even more automated) I feel we should document some of
these in the Handbook, updating the info already there.

Here is a small patch for the X11 chapter which attempts to do this:

http://people.freebsd.org/~manolis/x11.diff

And the build:

http://www.freebsdgr.org/handbook-mine/x-config.html

This is much smaller than the 1000+ line monster of firewalls, and as
always all comments are welcome :)

Cheers,
manolis@
