Hmm... after I rebuild X again it seems to work now (still some issues
though). I'm curious, do you know which snapshot you were using?

So just for the record:
- X from snapshots (July 19th, and July 22nd) did not work.
  With the July 19th snapshot I did a fresh install. With the July 22nd
  snapshot I took the upgrade path.
- Building X from source (empty /usr/xobj, etc) still did not work.
- Built xserver with debug and following instructions in xenocara/README
  left me with a strange core with useless backtrace.
- Rebuilding X (empty /usr/xobj) with DEBUG=-g starts X but there
  are some issues with some ports that use X (e.g., firefox 3.6.7
  crashes similar useless core file as X earlier).

ATM I'm starting to build the entire system from source (kernel, base,
X over again) and then try and (re)build the ports ...
