Re: Built-in vs. Modular Xorg under -current
After a few reported breaks I was finally able to build 8.99.37 amd64.
Xorg now works fine with AIGLX etc., so as far as I am concerned the
latest Mesa 18.4 import plus the other llvm bits are working OK. The
nouveau driver still does not work with my GeForce 950m, but I didn't
expect it, the Intel 530 is enough. I previously managed to screw the
installation by switching to a different pkgin source for
modular-xorg, now some packages give me weird output, perhaps linked
with the modular bits, so I will blast /usr/pkg and /var/pkg and
reinstall everything from a consistent source. An example of what
appears to be failing is 'xscreensaver-command -demo'; the programs
run fine in the small demo window, but full screen they break, so that
the keyboard is lost, the screen gets black after a message about not
being able to find some Mesa related parameters; this happens under
Gnome and XFCE4, but works OK under ctwm. Go figure...
