AFFECTS: nvidia-driver users
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
As of writing, a update for the nvidia-driver is needed. The current
nvidia-driver beta version 290.1 has support for xorg-server 1.12.
Users of the legacy driver are adviced to not use the WITH_NEW_XORG switch.

AFFECTS: users libglut, dri.
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
The old and unmaintained libglut shipped with MESA was replaced with a new
implementation called freeglut. Freeglut is already used as the GLUT
implementation in many Linux distributions. This change requires that all
ports linking to libGLUT be recompiled since libGLUT and freeglut differ in
shared library version.
portmaster -o graphics/freeglut graphics/libglut
portmaster -r freeglut
Starting with graphics/dri version 8.0. A number of older dri driver modules
were dropped. If you using one of the following you should consider not
using the WITH_NEW_XORG switch.
i810, mach64, mga, r128, r300, r600, savage, sis, tdfx and unichrome.

AFFECTS: users of mesa based ports (libGL etc) and xorg-server.
AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
Update default mesa (libGL and friends) to 7.6.1 and xorg-server to 1.7.7.
Add a new switch WITH_NEW_XORG, for people that want mesa 7.11.x and
xorg-server 1.10.4, this will also update xf86-video-intel to the version
that only supports KMS. If you FreeBSD version doesn't have KMS then you
shouldn't use the WITH_NEW_XORG macro on machines with intel graphics.
Supported versions of FreeBSD with KMS kernel support:
10.0-Current with a patch
When switching xorg-server versions make sure to rebuild your xf86-* ports.
Mention acceleration issues with KDE and 1.10.x. Nvidia shouldn't have any
problems. Ati should work, but acceleration might be botched.
The nouveau driver is sadly a casualty, it needs to be updated and kernel
support needs to be written. Other rarer drivers aren't tested.
