The Xorg Team is pleased to announce the next round of Xorg updates.
The team created a new flag called WITH_NEW_XORG that users can include
in /etc/make.conf. This was created for the intel KMS work being done
althouthough It probably works for other chips. Unfortunately, the intel
KMS driver will only work on FreeBSD 9(RELENG|STABLE) or 10/HEAD users.
Older version of FreeBSD will not be supported. Intel users will need
to patch their source manually with Konstantin?s KMS kernel patch to get
the newer chips to work. Please carefully read UPDATING entry.
Changes:
- libdrm 2.4.31 (including KMS support)
- mesa 7.11.2
- xorg-server 1.10.6
- a lot of new Graphic Drivers.
I would like to thank:

Niclas Zeising
and all helpers and testers from x11@.
The X-Server has been patched to the latest 1.7.X series, drivers
and fonts have been updated to the latest versions. This update includes
some components from Xorg 7.6 with a lot of improvements, and it seems
that the performance is much better than the old version. Also this
Update fix build issues with clang and binutils 2.17.50 in current,
remove 6.X gruft and de-author pkg-descr.

The Intel drivers was patched to work with
the new server. The drivers for Vesa, NV,NVIDIA and
ATI have been tested thoroughfully and seem to work fine.
A complete changelog of Xorg 7.5 can you read here:

A note to FreeBSD 6.X users: We strongly recommend you
to update your system to 7.x or above.

Bug fixes since 2.7.0:
----------------------
* KMS: Hook up output properties for RANDR, (this allows output
properties to be controlled in the KMS case just as in the UMS
case). [Zhenyu Wang <zhenyu.z.wang@intel.com>]
* Fix multiplication error when computing required batch space.
This could fix any number of cases where the driver did
inexplicable things (due to having computed the wrong
size). [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
* Hold reference to video binding table until all rects are
painted. This prevent general chaos in the buffer
manager. [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
* Split i915 textured video commands to fit into batch
buffers. Video and 3D setup commands share the same batch
buffer, so without this fix, various problems could occur when
video and 3D clients were both heavily active at the same
time. [Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>]
* Fix crash with XV with large virtual display (> 2049). [Albert
Damen <albrt@gmx.net>]
* Provide missing value to 3D_STATE_VERTEX_BUFFERS command. We
don't know that this was causing any problem, but the change
does bring the driver into conformance with what the
specification says the hardware requires here. [Keith Packard
<keithp@keithp.com>]
o Update randrproto, libXrandr and xrandr to 1.3.0
o Update xf86-video-intel to 2.6.3
o Update other less common drivers as needed
o Mark a bunch of un-maintained input drivers ignored
o Update the various slave X server ports as well
- Bump PORTREVISION for all ports depending on libglut since the shlib
version number went from 4 to 3.
- Bump PORTREVISION for all ports depending on libXaw as libXaw.so.8 isn't
installed anymore.
- Couple of ports fixes (mostly missing xorg components added to USE_XORG).
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

- Mark XFree86-4 as DEPRECATED with EXPIRATION_DATE set to 2007-12-25.
I hope that nobody will be bored enough on Christmas to remove them on
that day.
