Then you picked the wrong OS to go to, since Xorg 7.1 is at least tested
and working on Solaris. Support for BSD releases is still being worked
on by the BSD X maintainers, so you'll have a much harder time building it
on FreeBSD than on Solaris. (With the build system revamp in Xorg 7.0,
only Solaris & Linux were initially supported, since Sun, Red Hat, SuSE,
Ubuntu & Gentoo provided the bulk of the development effort.)

We already ship 6.9.0 which was released at the end of December, and is the
same source code as 7.0, only with the old build system still - the change
between that and 7.1 is not that major. What are you looking for that you
don't already have?
