The 9.x release notes give NO hints as to this issue and so the expectation of pkg upgrade NOT screwing an installation needs to be maintained. The simple (if temp fix) was to replace cairo. NB I said replace, the concept of a rollback doesn't exist with pkg. I'm running a vanilla 9 upgraded to 9.3 with freebsd-update and pkg upgrade. FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p2 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz agp0: on vgapci0 X.Org X Server 1.7.7 as delivered by the "update" tools. The reference to WITH_NEW_XORG Date: Fri, 04 Jul 2014 22:39:01 +0200 From: Koop Mast To: freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] temporary WITH_NEW_XORG repositories available is an orphan with little info and doesn't even point to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/WITH_NEW_XORG This disregard for the consequences of changes to basic sub-systems is doing irreparable harm to FBSD esp. on the desktop. The recent snafus with the package repository, sysinstall and the gung-ho introduction of pkg, have driven away many long time users. If use on the desktop becomes messy, a whole new generation of users will go elsewhere. Even I, a VERY long term user in the server space, am beginning to wonder why I continue to bother. pjc -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
