The question is why is OpenOffice 2.3.1 included in the ports three so quickly without making sure that things work properly. BSD systems are genuinely known for their stability and code correctness which is why most people decided to use them on the first place. Rushing to include new software in the ports three without proper testing is seriously going to damage usability of the whole OS. In my understanding ports tree is supporting stable and the current brunch. I am of the opinion that the ports three of the stable branch should not include nothing but the rock solid and tested software. The easiest way for me to check if the port is bleeding edge that is to try to install the same software using binaries. (pkg_add -r) If the binaries do not exist or if the version installed from binaries is older that clearly indicates that the port version is too new to be trusted. I personally found out that Xfce4-panel is not compiling properly on stable and also Orage (calendar for Xfce) While problems with Xfce4-panel are not as serious as with Orage (which is not usable in any shape or form on FreeBSD) they are still serious. The same packages work flawlessly on the OpenBSD. The problem is that ports is maintained by volunteers who are mostly outside of any kind of freebsd core team. I think it is unrealistic to ask port committers to check anything more than to check that the ports build properly. My personal wish list is that opencascade builds on FreeBSD-7 with the new stlport, and that octave-forge not be in its current IGNORE state. But I fully appreciate that I must either wait, or help make it happen.

I upgraded the ports collection to X.org 6.9 at the same time. Under the X that ships with 6-RELEASE, in the ISO image, and under X.org 6.9, the symptoms are the same. The hardware is an Athlon 4400+ CPU on an Asus motherboard and an NVIDIA 7800 GTX video card. I'm not running the NVidia FreeBSD driver (yet), preferring to see the VESA work first before stirring the pot. If I run X -probeonly, I get a message that module fbdev cannot be found. This message is, however, almost unreadable because the probing of the video card causes the console contrast to drop almost to zero. The room has to be almost pitch-black before the remaining dim text can be read. I have to reboot the machine to make the console brightness and contrast normal again. Any takers on either of these problems? Mike O'Brien It might be worth trying the nvidia drivers even if VESA isn't working.

The instability problems have just been fixed in HEAD and will hopefully be MFC'd for 5.4 btw. It looks like I have lucked out so far, because I have this set up with no problems so far. I hope this fix gets to 5.x-stable soon because for my particular workloads HTT helps a lot.
