I just got a note from someone else I was working with on this that the problem was fixed by rebuilding those ports. It is known that they need to be rebuilt to work with NEW_XORG, but there is no version bump, so they generally don't and may not be getting into the NEW_XORG packages. Even if it does, since the version is the same, probably does not get pulled in automatically. Looks to me like there should be a note to this effect on the wiki, at the very least. It's a pretty odd situation. If this happened in the standard ports system, it would just result in a PORT_REVISION bump. Could that be done to those packages in the NEW_XORG repo? -- R.
