Guys,
My portupgrade -aP was stll going full tilt late this morning
after my 27th cup of French roast, so good thing I didn't wait.
After only 8 or 9 days, there's obv'ly been lots of mods.
Read: 'hard work' by volunteers.
The xorg.conf I created on 09jun07 was around 1K bytes. The
new one is around 4 times that size. My logs clued me in --
partly. In /var/log/gdm/:0.log was the problem. An (EE)
that said I was missing some required module. I searched all
*.ko files and even looked for the source. NADA. Then I
ran another X -configure. That spat out a slew of warnings and
errors but it did create an xorg.conf.new. It worked as a test
and today worked to bring up gdm without any errors. (!!)
I can find out my searching around what new kinds of features are
in xorg-7.x, but it looks like it has better probes at least.
So, to anybody who is dreading the xorg mess, there is hope.
FBSD is still the best open-src group in the {known:)} universe.
