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)
I had moved libXThrStub into libX11, because it seemed unnecessary. However,
because libc_r symbols are also weak, the weak stubs in libX11 would interfere,
however they don't if they are in a library linked by libX11. The most common
manifestation of the problem was:
GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 137 (g_thread_impl_init): error
'Invalid argument' during 'pthread_getschedparam (pthread_self(), &policy,
&sched)'
in glib apps.
PR: ports/75477

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.
