X11 in FreeBSD 12.0 != X11 in FreeBSD 11.2

[hruodr]

I installed 12.0, and now: fonts are unsharp, xterms are much wider. Cool?

Perhaps someone knows how to get X11 look like it always looked like?

And changing from X11 to consoles with Alt-Fx and back leads to a
black screen or to distorted colours.

I have the impression that 12.0 was not enough tested.

Thanks for any tipp!

UPDATE: I had the samew problem some years ago. Solution for my computer:

Did you upgrade to 12.0 or is it a clean installation? What is you hardware?

Yes, it's absolutely the same X11. No, X11 wasn't tested specifically for 12.0 release, it's not a part of the base system.

Installed in a new CD, because I wanted to keep the 11.2 installation.

Indeed nothing new: old problems that I brought years ago to the forum. The solution for me:

pkg install xf86-video-ati-legacy

It is work for some hours to tune the system until I can work with it.

So you're still using the old drivers. Have you tried installing the new ones (graphics/drm-kmod)?

Vesa?

Unrelated to FreeBSD. Xorg is third-party software and not dependent on any particular FreeBSD version. That's the case for the entire ports tree actually, not just Xorg. And the separation only increased lately with the new KMS drivers.
