The following reply was made to PR ports/131016; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Alex Goncharov <alex-goncharov@comcast.net> To: "O. Hartmann" <ohartman@zedat.fu-berlin.de> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/131016: xorg-7.4 renders system unusable! Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 12:39:38 -0500 Ditto here. Last night I updated a desktop and have garbage (or call it a visual noise if you will) in my windows all the time now. Nevertheless, I upgraded a laptop -- and can't use X here at all: while the mouse pointer moves, the keyboard is "dead", until some number of key presses leads to a loud continuous beep; I can switch to the non-X virtual consoles but the beep continues and I have to reboot the system to kill the sound. Disabling HAL doesn't make things much better, although in my current configuration I don't have a continuous sound and can experiment. Putting `xev' into ~/.xsession, I observed that all (?) the keystrokes result in "keysym 0x0". Bottom line: the X system is unusable after the upgrade; no diagnostic tool that I tried provides a clue about how to make it work. -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --
