In the /usr/ports/UPDATING said: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D It is recommended that you run the xorg 7.2 upgrade inside a script(1= ) session. This way, if something goes wrong, you will have hopefully saved enough information for the developers to debug the problem. Make sure you choose a filesystem with lots of space for the script output. # script xorg-upgrade =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D See that 'script(1)', so run 'man 1 script' to learn more about 'script'= .
