and X did not start. I had to roll back to older versions of the packages.

the same happens when using portmaster to upgrade.

Comment 3 L Wang 2022-08-08 10:11:12 UTC
managed to fix the problem by manually remove xorg-server and drivers, then install libxcvt, xorg-server and drivers.
Comment 4 Martin 'caubert' Kauber 2022-08-08 11:17:32 UTC
Happens also to 13.1 inside Virtual Box. Removing xorg-server/-drivers, vbox guest additions and reinstalling these does not help fixing the situation...

I could not get. Everything remains as it was. :(

to get X working, had to change pkg sources from latest to quarterly and re-install packages from there

Quarterly does not yet have libxcvt and xorg-server 21.1.4.1
Comment 8 Alexandre Labarre 2022-08-16 07:45:28 UTC
Hello,
For Virtualbox issue more information is available in this ticket https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=265731
Issue is now solved after upgrade packages (using latest repo).

...good to hear it works in general, for me virtualbox still blacks out, after reinstalling xorg and drivers
Comment 10 Alexandre Labarre 2022-08-23 15:19:40 UTC
(In reply to Martin 'caubert' Kauber from comment #9)
This is strange. I am using Virtualbox 6.1.36 and display controller VBoxSVGA.
I am using latest repo for pkg sources (not quarterly).
Comment 11 Jason Beech-Brandt 2022-08-25 08:34:22 UTC
it's also not working for me - this is using vmware fusion.  I recompiled everything using latest and I still get the system hanging after startx
Comment 12 Jason Beech-Brandt 2022-09-06 16:45:58 UTC
after the latest update to xorg-server to 21.1.4_1,1 my x11 is working again
Comment 13 Huskers 2022-09-17 02:36:47 UTC
(In reply to Jason Beech-Brandt from comment #12)
I have the latest xorg-server as yours and also the latest libxcvt but my xorg fails

I have to revert back to 1.20.14,1 to make it work
Comment 14 Huskers 2022-09-17 03:28:26 UTC
I got it working after uninstall latest version of xorg-server and xf86-video-nv video driver.

reinstalled 21_5 version of xf86-video-nv and xorg-server 4_1,1 and it is working now.

Thanks to everyone!
Comment 15 Graham Perrin 2023-09-24 09:43:21 UTC
I think we can reasonably assume that this is overcome by events, for everyone who might have been affected.

Thank you for reporting. 

For future ports-related reports: a suitable prefix, in the summary line, should ensure automated assignment to the appropriate person or list. 

(For Bugzilla purposes, this was not a standards issue.)

Hint: at the head of the FreshPorts page for a port, use the two bug icons.
