libxcb.so.2 not found

[no1]

When startx I get error

shard object "libxcb.so.2" not found required by libXext.so.b

No XDMCP requests will be granted

xserver died during startup

what should I do?

Looks like some ports/packages need to be recompiled/reinstalled.

Do you use ports? Any chance you missed the "20140416: ..." entry regarding libxcb in /usr/ports/UPDATING?

I did not get what you are saying. I used the FreeBSD DVD to install Xorg, KDE I thought to install them from DVD and later update but it seems it doesn't work.

How did you update? Before updating always, yes always, read /usr/ports/UPDATING.

I have used pkg update

On what version of FreeBSD? If I recall correctly some parts of KDE now require a newer version of Xorg. Your version may not have support for it.

It sounds like he needs to set

 WITH_NEW_XORG=yes

in /etc/make.conf. I can attest that all of the packages included in the x11/kde4 metapackage are building and working fine now. Of course the big mistake people are wont to make when they set

 WITH_NEW_XORG=yes

is forgetting to properly rebuild their drivers by doing

make deinstall

followed by

make reinstall

, can't hurt to point that out I guess.

EDIT: Oh, and as far as I know, x11/kde4 still isn't building with GLES, should have mentioned that.
