I am testing the repo (revision 120) since the last CFT. I'm using
FreeBSD 8-STABLE amd64 with KDE, proprietary nvidia drivers (beta) and
KDE 4.4 with OpenGL compositing enabled. After a "portupgrade -a" for
the new xorg ports (not -af), I only did a "portupgrade -f
nvidia-driver" and all is working without problems.

Thanks !
