To celebrate te Xorg upgrade I got rid of all ports installed in my system,
then did a fresh install. No problems building; well, I installed first
gnome-lite expecting it would pull the complete xorg meta-port and finally
had to install this to get all the stuff, but suppose this is harmless.

Now, the sad history: I can run X apps with the nv driver, but the
nvidia-driver fails. Typescript [...comments...]:

[...using the nv driver...]
