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).
