Re: Upgrade to 5.3-STABLE broke X?

Were you using third-party drivers (e.g., NVidia)? DRI is not supported (the reason for one of the errors) because hardware cursors aren't supported (the reason for the other error). Disabling both still gives me a SIGSEGV, with a useless coredump (stack frames corrupted). And I was using whatever native drivers were present. I got a private reply saying there are issues with this version and my hardware, so I'll take it to the freebsd-x11 list as he suggested. -- Dave ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
