Hello FreeBSD
I updated the below listed ports on one of my systems today using
portmaster. The system is running 9.0 Current updated yesterday.
[robert at 9BSD64] ~> uname -a
FreeBSD 9BSD64.shasta204.local 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #1: Fri
Mar 25 11:31:42 PDT 2011
root at 9BSD64.shasta204.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
goffice-0.8.14
libgsf-1.14.20
libgsf-gnome-1.14.20
xf86-video-ati-6.14.1
gnumeric-1.10.14
After updating these ports, I am unable to start an XFCE4 session. I get a
blank blue screen with a mouse cursor and a blank white task bar. The
system is locked up. I cannot even ctl-alt-F2 or even ctl-alt-del. The
keyboard and mouse are unresponsive.
I can ssh into the system and then I really see some weird stuff. Top
does not even show that I have executed the "startx" command.

I normally do not run HAL but I enabled it in rc.conf to see if it made a difference.
Obviously it did not. Using ps axw also show nothing X related as running.
Anyone seeing this or have an idea of what to try?
TIA
Robert
