It is possible that an upgrade broke X. Unfortunately I don't own
every piece of hardware so I can't test every possible configuration.
Does using portdowngrade help at all? Perhaps we could work from there
to figure out exactly what went wrong.

I'm sorry that your having problems with newer versions of X.

It would help if you could send send small "case studies" to the x11@
mailing list. I just upgraded foo but when I tweaked bar it fixed the
problem. I'm not looking for user error stories but legitimate
configuration required issues.
