Released versions and FreeBSD 8 are unaffected by this. Binary packages still provide the old xorg distribution. It is possible to get the old version of xorg by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf Please read UPDATING before updating, and consult https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics for some more details and hardware support. It is also possible to send a mail to x11@freebsd.org (public mailing list) with questions, comments and so on. Thank you to all who made this happen!
