Hi!

Before updating xf86-video-ati to 7.5.0, we would like some people to
try it out. The reason is that 7.4.0 was crashing for several users, so
we want to be sure it's fixed in 7.5.0.

Here's patch:
https://people.freebsd.org/~dumbbell/graphics/ports-xf86-video-ati-7.5.0.patch

To apply it:
  cd /usr/ports
  patch -p1 < /path/to/ports-xf86-video-ati-7.5.0.patch

Then update x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati with your method of choice.

What we're especially looking for is report of successful or failed
startup of the X server. With 7.4.0, the server would crash during
startup. But with 7.5.0, none of us could reproduce the problem.

When you're finished, you may restore your vanilla ports tree:
  cd /usr/ports
  patch -p1 -R < /path/to/ports-xf86-video-ati-7.5.0.patch
  find x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati -name "*.orig" -delete

Thank you for your help!
