I would like to test new xorg with vt(9) in a jail. The above new release states that the new xorg will soon have a pkgng version. Is that available yet? If it is what is the pkgng package name to use? Is vt available in 10.0-RELEASE? If not is there a port or package for it? Note; I am not member of this list so be sure to reply all.
