xorg 7.3 - errors when starting

Hi,

I just installed the xorg 7.3 port using portmanager on FreeBSD 7-STABLE. I csuped the ports tree today.
When I call startx, the server starts but stops again and I get the following errors:

xauth: creating new authority file /home/frog/.serverauth.79164

waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.


Can anybody give me hints as to where the problem is here?


Thanks.
 
I've had the same problem, but when I try again "portupgrade -fa" Xorg started normally.
Maybe it's a magic?
 
Hi,

yeah i've read in another newsgroup that the problem has to do with not doing a full ports rebuild after moving from FBSD 6 to FBSD 7. So I guess I'll be doing a portsupgrade -fa at the weekend!

Thanks for the input.
 
Your xorg.conf is broken. Adjust it to the new paths that were introduced with Xorg-7 (/usr/local instead of /usr/X11R6, different module and font paths...).
 
Hi,

thanks for the input.
I did portsupgrade -faO at the weekend and lo gnome and co work again!
There's no getting around rebuilding everything after a major upgrade.
