Check the libxcb thread on this list. Try running portupgrade -a -rf libxcb and wait patiently- it worked for me. Meanwhile, leave rgbpath uncommented if you have X ttys enabled or it'll annoy the shit out of you- comment it out as soon as portupgrade finishes and you'll have beloved X back :) If mouse doesn't work at this point you'll have to make sure dbus and hald are enabled under rc.conf and reboot. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
