I keep it as an additional test box. The issue is that 7.3 worked and 7.4
doesn't on this box.

yes, I did. After that didn't help I deinstalled and reinstalled all X-related
ports - same result.

On 8.0-current i386 I have different problems (black screen, cannot return
to console, have to reboot) but the result is the same - xorg 7.4 isn't
working at all.
