Robert,

I salute you in your lonely attempts to keep up with the bloat from Xorg.
Your efforts deserve more support than that: FreeBSD is too important.

Alas, I fear that these problems are threatening the choice to use FreeBSD
as an OS for clients.  I am spending more and more time dealing with the
kinds of problems others have listed here.  Unfortunately, there really are
no good alternatives: Linux has bloat of its own, and isn't quite Unix,
Apple is a possibility, at least with enough support.

Bill Cheswick
