Thank you very much, the symptoms are exactly the same. Well if it is
driver dependant it is definetly a regression, since it worked fine in
4.3. An XFree Update requires a lot of testing.

The CVS history will be interesting, when we really think about
committing the update. The reason why I rearranged stuff in my tarball,
is because XFree86-4-libraries fails to compile if it is not in a
directory called x11. It took my a while to find this out. Several other
ports refer to other ports with relative paths.

Well we have to think about this. Perhaps we need some kind of TODO
list. We could also note, which drivers of the Server we tested.

Thank you very much. I will try to test your changes over the weekend.
