Problems with Upgrade to Xorg 7.2

[Stover, Beth]

Thanks John,

That did the trick!  Here's what I did:

I had to make deinstall and reinstall for graphics/libdrm  to get the
newest version.

Next I tried making the Xorg metaport again.

Make clean install

It installed this time. -- Took @ 30 minutes.

Next, I tried starting x from the console:

Startx

This time I got the error, no core device


failed to initialize core devices
No core pointer registered
cannot open input device

I had to reconfigure Xorg.

Xorg -configure

X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

Now it worked.

Next, I copied the new config file to /etc:

cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Tested with:

Startx

It worked!  Xorg 7.2 upgrade complete.

Thanks again!
