What commands should I run? I am not familiar with the "what is on my
system" commands.
I have a MSI motherboard with an Nvidia graphics card. The nvidia driver
is installed. I did not test with "nv".
FreeBSD FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE #0: i386
Steps to reproduce: run your second to last patch; upgrade all; run startx.
I uninstalled xorg-server xf86-input-mouse and keyboard and installed
the old versions. Almost everything everything else is the new version
and it works now.
I think xorg-server was the problem.

I did. Except that I don't have a commit bit and you have a patch to
upgrade to the newer Xorg which touches most of the Xorg files. I am
politely asking that you add the version number bump to xorg-minimal.
