missing pkg xorg-server in 10.0-RELEASE

[Daniel Herring]

Solved.  I am now sitting in a nice GPU-accelerated display on 
10.0-RELEASE.

Grr...

The magic step was to add the actual release as a second repository. 
Then pkg started finding everything just fine.

cat <<_EOF > /etc/pkg/FreeBSD-release.conf
# original release repo
FreeBSD-release: {
   url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/release/0",
   mirror_type: "srv",
   signature_type: "fingerprints",
   fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
   enabled: yes
}
_EOF

Looking around further, it appears that packages/freebsd:10:x86:64 on the 
install DVD also works...


Sorry for the noise on this list.  Feel free to forward my learning 
experience to another list if appropriate.  I somehow missed the above 
step in the documentation.
