ports/131016: xorg-7.4 renders system unusable!

Ditto here.

Last night I updated a desktop and have garbage (or call it a visual
noise if you will) in my windows all the time now.

Nevertheless, I upgraded a laptop -- and can't use X here at all:
while the mouse pointer moves, the keyboard is "dead", until some
number of key presses leads to a loud continuous beep; I can switch to
the non-X virtual consoles but the beep continues and I have to reboot
the system to kill the sound.

Disabling HAL doesn't make things much better, although in my current
configuration I don't have a continuous sound and can experiment.

Putting `xev' into ~/.xsession, I observed that all (?) the keystrokes
result in "keysym 0x0".

Bottom line: the X system is unusable after the upgrade; no diagnostic
tool that I tried provides a clue about how to make it work.
