After a hacky bit of installing xorg-server 1.14.5,1, surprisingly 
enough, it just now managed to start X with the OpenChrome driver.  No 
one is more surprised than me, because it was a partial install.  There 
were complaints about it wanting automake 1.14.1 rather than 1.14.

pixman has a plist error, showing 32.4 instead of 32.6 for a library 
version, so it fails in staging before being able to install until that 
is fixed.

Initially, I missed rebuilding the mouse and keyboard drivers.

But right now, it's running xfce at 1280x768 with compositing enabled. 
It seems to handle Flash okay, although not quickly (HP Mini 2133 with a 
Via C7-M processor).

I'm impressed.  What is the schedule for upgrading the Xorg ports?

Thanks!
