>>
>> This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9

>> It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in

>> A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will

>> as some drivers and utilities.
>>
>> Bump portrevisions for xf86-* ports, as well as virtualbox-ose-additions due

>> Apart from these updates, the way shared libraries are handled has been

>> Fix some issues where WITH_NEW_XORG weren't detected properly on CURRENT.

My host is running 10.0-RELEASE-p2 with jails. I would like to test new
xorg with vt(9) in a jail. The above new release states that the new
xorg will soon have a pkgng version.
Is that available yet?
If it is what is the pkgng package name to use?
Is vt available in 10.0-RELEASE?
If not is there a port or package for it?
Note; I am not member of this list so be sure to reply all.
