Ports
=====

Neither `pkg update` nor `portupgrade` can update all ports.
Dump all origins, then reinstall manually.

Linuxulator
===========

New CentOS-6 based linux_base requires sysctl:
```
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
```

X11
===

GDM
---

Gdm won't work out of the box (black screen):

  * `gdm_lang` cannot be set to a non-UTF-8 locale anymore
    (if the month name in the current date contains an accent,
    the greeter will abort).
  * (at least when using an ATI video card,) user `gdm` needs to be
    able to access `/dev/dri/card0`:
    * create group `dri` containing user `gdm`
    * add devs rules to give it r/w access to `/dev/dri/card0`

Keymap
------

X will now ignore keymap settings from xorg.conf. Keymap settings must
now be supplied through HAL policy (`/usr/local/share/hal/fdi/policy/99local/10-x11-keymap.fdi`).
