Das FreeBSD X.org-Team sucht Tester für ein großes X.org-Update. Dies ist das erste Update seit langer Zeit und wird wahrscheinlich die entsprechend zerstörerischen Auswirkungen haben. Die größten Änderungen gegenüber dem derzeitigen Zustand sind:
- xf86-video-nouveau wurde entfernt. Stattdessen sollte x11/nvidia-driver genutzt werden.
- Die Unterstützung für KMS und GEM ist auf Seite der Ports nun Teil des Systems.
- Es lebt eine alte X.org-Version (für Intel-Nutzer ohne KMS und GEM) gemeinsam mit einer neuen Version (für Intel-Nutzer mit KMS und GEM) im Portstree. Die beiden make.conf-Variablen "WITH_NEW_XORG" und "WITH_KMS" kontrollieren dies.
Alles weitere steht in der E-Mail:

Knock knock...
The X11 Team is pleased to announce the next round of Xorg updates.
Note that this is experimental so you really have to know what you are
doing, read UPDATING in the repository, and follow our exact
instructions. We are specifically looking for feedback from Intel, ATI
and NVIDIA users.
Summary of changes:
xf86-video-nouveau has been removed along with the WITHOUT_NOUVEAU
knob. We suggest switching to the nvidia blob.
KMS Support [1]:
Unfortunately, the intel KMS driver will only work for the latest
FreeBSD 9-STABLE or 10-CURRENT users. The patch for HEAD current is
named all.13.1.patch. The higher the version the newer the patch is.
Other needed patches are already available in the Xorg update.
HEAD Users:
Get the latest patchset from Kib here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/drm/
9-STABLE Users:
'meowthink' is currently maintaining the backport to 9 STABLE.
Make sure you have the latest FreeBSD 9-STABLE source.
Get the patch from here:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BxbPi2OX4_B-NWY3NWU3MzEtNDBjYy00NTljLThlZGItMWFlYjIyYjI4Yjk3&hl=en_US
Rebuild your Kernel and reboot.
Known issuse:
There will be a patch reject in the sys/dev/drm/i915_suspend.c file.
The solution is to manually undo the expansion of the $FreeBSD: ....$
tag, so it only saysis $FreeBSD$.
Checkout Xorg Development Repo:
You will need to install devel/subversion in order to checkout the xorg
repo. Next, you will need to add WITH_NEW_XORG=yes in
your /etc/make.conf if you want to try out the new Xorg and mesa.
Intel users: note that if you are not qualified for the KMS patch, you
shouldn't use WITH_NEW_XORG=yes because the old intel driver doesn't
build with the new X server. If you are qualified, you should also set
WITH_KMS=yes in /etc/make.conf.
svn co https://trillian.chruetertee.ch/svn/ports/tags/xorg_7_5_2
A small merge script to merge the svn checkout into the real portstree
can be found here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~miwi/xorg/xorgmerge
The script is a modified version of the old kdemerge script. Please set
the KDEDIR variable to the path of your X.org ports.
After merging, run one of the following command, depending on which
tool you use to manage your installed packages.
portupgrade -af \*
portmaster -a
After installing these, you will have to rebuild all xf86-* ports. We
will bump all related ports during the commit to the ports tree.
Roadmap:
Our current plan is to let the CFT running until the last weekend of
February. We hope to get a lot feedback to solve as many problems as
possible. So please help us to get the best xorg update ever in!

PS: Please reply to the x11@ mailing list. Cross posted due to the
potentially disruptive nature of the change and need to get a wide
variety of testers.
