AFAIK mixing packages and locally built packages isn't really supported. I works most of the time, but there are no warranties. Also it is especially prone to breaking when building parts that work with hardware drivers. So to properly upgrade your Xorg server if you're coming from quarterly packages the safe way is to configure your machine to use latest packages and perform a pkg upgrade. In rare cases you could need pkg upgrade -f. If you want to use ports and have been using packages, only safe way is to reinstall everything from ports, but I'd really suggest you use project provided packages or build your own package set using a tool like poudriere. Apart from this, new Xorg changes many things and upgrading only the server will not be enough anyway. Unluckily if you don't perform a proper upgrade it's difficult to tell if the problem is caused by a bug in some port or induced by some misalignment on your system software. > > @Ulf Rudolf <mailto:u.rudolf@web.de> > Now knowing that the xorg-server is not recognizing any input devices > after rebuild the latest version, I have a feeling that this problem is > related, maybe the LightDM expects some specific device? LightDM uses Xorg for it's input, so, no it should work. Have you tried using "startx" as root to check that Xorg itself works fine? -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
