+20120105:
+ 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 should be without
+ any problems. Ati should work, but acceleration might be botched.
+ The nouveau driver is sadly a casualty, it needs both a update and kernel
+ support needs to be written. Other rarer drivers aren't tested.
