Solved far2l - Freezes X when starting outside terminal

Today I learned there's far2l - FAR commander for Unix-like operating systems, and it's in the FreeBSD ports collection! It looks awesome, and I can't wait to start using it, but the problem is - it hangs my X if ran outside a terminal window. Starts fine from the terminal. Any ideas how this can be fixed? I really have to kill the X server and start it again.

Thanks!

Update: OK, solved it by creating an Xfce launcher with terminal=true and starting with --tty --mortal flags. Works fine now inside the terminal window (not GUI).
 
Ones related to xorg, perhaps xorg-server and drivers as well. Maybe all xorg prefixed ports already on your system, which would cover those. Try rebuilding the ones that show from pkg info | grep xorg.

Edit: drm-54-kmod also.
 
zirias@, if I start far2l from Xfce terminal, I get a blank terminal and a separate window with FAR GUI, everything works. I want to start it directly from plank or thunar without opening the terminal. If I do that, it won't show the GUI and will freeze my X instantly.

I have just rebuilt far2l from ports and get the same issue. I probably won't be rebuilding xorg, as far2l is the only application that is exhibiting this behavior.
