After I upgraded xorg with pkg_add -r, I got this error when trying to
start it on display :1, vt9, alongside my current session:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: KDSETMODE KD_GRAPHICS failed
The previous package was linked against libc.so.5, the new is against

the kernel, and I've built and installed a new kernel, but am reluctant
to restart without knowing that I'll have a usable X server. Can anyone
