I commented out > some modules, until it worked. Don't remember which one though. I had this and another problem when upgrading. This problem was sovled by correcting the paths in xorg.conf. The other problem was a message about the default font (fixed) not being found. This is solved by manually reinstalling font-misc-misc and font-cursor-mic: portupgrade -f font-misc-misc font-cursor-misc Why this works, I have no idea. Do the fonts get corrupted by the mergebase script? After some googling I noticed more users were having this problem. -- Marijn van Vliet
