CFT upgrade to xorg 1.18.4 and newer intel/ati DDX

[Baptiste Daroussin]

Hi all,

This is a call for testing for newer Xorg along with newer drivers: intel and
ati.

The patch against the head ports: https://people.freebsd.org/~bapt/newxorg.diff

Note that you would need to rebuild all the xf86-* packages to work with that
newer xorg (hence the bump of the revision)

Do not expect newer gpu supported as this is not the kernel part.

If you experience any issue with intel or radeon driver please try to use the
new modesetting driver provided by xorg directly (note that fedora and debian
recommands to use that new driver instead of the ati/intel one)

To use that driver:

cat /usr/local/etc/xorg.conf.d/modesetting.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

You need to first load the kms driver eiter via loader.conf or manually via
kldload

Best regards,
Bapt of behalf of the X11 team
