,--- I/Alex (Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:00:15 GMT) ----* | Last night I updated a desktop and have garbage .. in my windows | all the time now. | | Nevertheless, I upgraded a laptop -- and can't use X here at all: | | 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. `-----------------------------------------------* I spent hours and hours today trying to understand the issues -- and I am still stuck with my laptop, which became essentially unusable after this unfortunate upgrade. I have read tens of Web pages discussing problems with Xorg 7.4 release -- quite recent, on various platforms. It is hard to avoid the impression that this is a half-cooked product at this time. Why it made it into FreeBSD port tree, being as under-tested, as much complained about, is a mystery. Can we please return to the old, time tested Xorg 7.3, until the obvious problems with this last release are figured out by X11 professionals? Thanks, -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --
