Updating to new Xorg

Hello, my current FreeBSD (10.0 AMD 64, using nVidia binary drivers) setup is running the old Xorg. I want to update to latest available Xorg. I read is some old mailing list that this can be done by adding a new temporary repository. (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/free ... 01570.html)
I did the same.
But pkg update and then pkg upgrade didn't do anything.

Code:
root@indra:/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos # pkg update
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.

Code:
root@indra:/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos # pkg upgrade
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.

How to upgrade to new Xorg?
 
I have just successfully followed the steps described in your link with adding new repo and it looks like it is upgrading fine. It has found the new 1.12.4_9,1 server. So you need to throw more info at us to help you troubleshoot this - versions and your repo configs at least.

I deleted old new_xorg config file, re created and followed the step. Most probably some typo had made that repo not accepted before. Last time I typed what was to be written, this time I copy pasted.
Thanks for help :)
 
You can check if the repository is correct by looking at the output of pkg -vv. The repository will be at the end, these are some of mine:
Code:
Repositories:
  dicelan: {
    url             : "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/10-desktop-default/",
    enabled         : yes
  }
And on another machine:
Code:
Repositories:
  dicelan: {
    url             : "http://j-internetz.dicelan.home/packages/9-server-default/",
    enabled         : yes
  }

You can also try forcing an update of the catalog: pkg update -f. This should fetch a new catalog, if it fails or fetches from the original FreeBSD repository you've made a mistake in your repository configuration.
