2013/3/11 Niclas Zeising <zeising@freebsd.org> > The FreeBSD xorg team (x11@) presents this update of the FreeBSD xorg > port to version 7.7. > This CFT is intended to weed out as many bugs and regressions as > possible before merging xorg 7.7 into ports, please test it as much as > possible, to make it as good as can be. > We need testers of both new and old xorg, on as many architectures and > hardware combinations as possible. > Please report both successes and failures, and remember to include which > architecture, graphics card, version of FreeBSD and compiler you are > using, as well as relevant logs if any. > > This CFT and any updates can either be obtained using SVN from > https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/ports/branches/xorg-7.7 . > Once this ports overlay is obtained, it is necessary to run the > xorgmerge script, obtainable here: > http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/xorg/xorgmerge . > Please don't forget to update directories before running this script. > > A patch against the ports tree is also available, and can be obtained > from http://people.freebsd.org/~zeising/xorg-7.7.diff . > Apply this using either > svn patch /path/to/xorg-7.7.diff > if your ports tree is managed by svn or > patch -p0 -E < /path/to/xorg-7.7.diff > if your ports tree is managed by portsnap > Remember -E, so that empty files are removed. > This patch will be kept as up to date as possible, but might lag a > little behind the SVN repository. > > Once the patch is in your ports tree, to build the old xorg, just cd to > /usr/ports/x11/xorg and run make install. > To get the new xorg, first set WITH_NEW_XORG in /etc/make.conf then > proceed as above. > > Hopefully we will also be able to make packages and test images > available for use, however, this is not done yet. A link for these > packages and images will be posted in a follow-up mail. > > In this CFT: > * xorg-server 1.12.4 (WITH_NEW_XORG) > * Mesa 8.0.5 (WITH_NEW_XORG) > * Updated dri > * libX11 1.5 > * libxcb 1.8 > * updates for drivers > * Updates for all other utilities and libraries > > Known issues: > The issues with imake and makedepend requiring a gnu compatible cpp is > not yet resolved. > Hardware acceleration for certain ATI radeon cards might no longer work, > if compiled with WITH_NEW_XORG. This is expected to be resolved once > the work of porting TTM/KMS for radeon is completed. > > Thank you very much, thus people that have still old radeon cards such as 4xxx that does not need KMS can just go on with xorg without WITH_NEW_XORG set right?
