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,

Note that due to restrictions on distribution of Wraphelp.c, which FreeBSD has
obtained permission for but freedesktop.org hasn't yet, the distfile will
be hand-rolled and located on freefall for a while.
Testing is encouraged, but please do not use these ports as dependencies until
they are updated to release tarballs and the XFree86 ports have been updated to
depend on them.
