Thanks to kris and krion for running several cluster test builds,
maintainers of GNOME for prompt responses, portmgr for postponing ports
freeze for this update, testers on FreeBSD-X11@ list and others that I
might have mised here.
Also included:
- fix for ATI Mobility on Dell Inspiron 7500 (obtained from Marc Aurele La
France; obtained and tested by julian)
- fix for kbd driver on Sparc64 (tested by Aaron Dudek, Michael G. Jung and
Matthias Muthmann), which still appears to have problems with some
keyboards - so
- fix for kbd driver on PC98 (reported and tested by NAKAJI Hiroyuki; PR
ports/77217)
- fix for i810 on HP D530 (obtained from Egbert Eich; obtained and tested
by Anders Nor Berle; PR ports/74757)
[2] Put the manpages from section 4 under 4x. For example, you can do
"man 4x vga" to get the X vga(4x) manpage, still do man 4 cirrus to get
cirrus(4x), and man -a vga to get both vga manpages.
[3] Apply several important-looking fixes to ATI drivers from the stable branch:
- Fix mode setting with Mach64 on some laptops.
- Don't crash with mach64 for some PCI configurations
- Improve hang detection on r128s. (may improve speed in DRI, too)
- Avoid a hang on server regen on r128 with DRI.
- Fix the DynamicClocks support, which could have caused hangs with DRI on
original Radeons.

change that occurred.
[2] Install the xorg.conf referred to by xorg.conf(5). Installation was
disabled during the XF86 name avoidance phase, but could still be of use.
[3] Add a section about the Composite extension to xorg.conf.
[4] Add MakeDllModules YES to the WITH_DEBUG flag's options. While it won't
package correctly, you can't actually debug modules (where crashes almost always
happen) without it.
[5] Merge fixes from XORG-6_8-branch for i810 driver crashes in on CloseScreen,
ringbuffer lockups, and various warnings.
[6] Recognize R_ALPHA_SREL32 relocation type in elfloader.

Approved by: portmgr
DRI drivers are incompatible with the old libGL in XFree86, they have been
repocopied to graphics/xfree86-dri. Also note that with this commit the html
manpages are going away, and with it the runtime dependency on perl for the
imake port.

Tested only on x86 so far due to problems installing dependencies on build
cluster. Based on XFree86-4-Server originally, but I decided the history
wasn't worth keeping that much as a lot has been changed.
