| I've had patches available for probably a couple of months now posted to
| freebsd-x11@.  For the few people who tested it, I had no real issues
| reported.  We were stalled for a long time, While X kept moving, so the
| amount of change was large.  This update also brings in support for a
| lot of people who are running newer hardware.
| 
| I realize that there are some issues with the mouse driver...  I'm
| trying to look at and resolve, but I don't really know input drivers, so
| I doing a lot of guess work.  On top of that I do have a day job, so
| time is limited.  

Understood.

Would you have spent more time if the new X was introduced as two (?)
new ports: xorg-server-devel and libxcb-devel.  Is X less complicated,
less dangerous, less "user-binding" than firefox or emacs?
