Problems With xorg 7.2

System:  FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE i386 SMP
MOBO:    Intel 946GZIS + 3.2Ghz Pentium D + 2G memory

I just finally managed to muddle through the upgrade to xorg
7.2.
(Though not noted in the docs in /usr/ports/UPDATING, I had
to
do a 'make install' for /usr/ports/x11/xorg to get the
installation
to complete after the upgrade.  Without this step, I had no
video,
mouse, or keyboard drivers.  I had installed X originally
from the
6.2-RELEASE CD so I guess I assumed - wrongly - that the
upgrade
would pickup everything needed.  Is this normal or did I
miss a
step somewhere along the way?)

Three problems remain:

1) After doing the portupgrades as explained in the doc, I
ran it
    one last time to make sure all was well and saw this:

    Stale dependency: xf86-input-acecad-1.1.0 -->
xkeyboard-config-0.9_2
    -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix, or specify -O to
force.

    Is this significant and/or what causes it/fixes it?  I
am new
    to portupgrade, having always done this sort of thing by
hand
    in the past.

2) When I startup X - especially with xfce4 - now and then,
the background
    will come up and the screen will do a sort of slow flash
- about
    once a second.  If I kill the X server and restart, the
problem
    goes away and I get normal operation.

3) Things work OK with VESA driver, but I cannot seem to get
things to
    work with the i810 driver (Intel 946GZIS mobo + 3.2Ghz
Pentium D):

Well, unless I'm terribly mistaken, this _is_ mentioned in
UPDATING :

"Make sure you have the x11/xorg meta-port
installed."

When this happens to me, I just run pkgdb -F as suggested
and it installs the 
missing dependency with no problems.

Afraid I can't help you with your other problems, I use the
nvidia driver and 
it works perfectly here.

Yes, it is.  I misunderstood this to mean that the xorg
metaport
had to be installed *before* the update - that is, that X be
fully
installed as of the last version.  My bad ;)

I tried that as well.  It seems that the port in question
has a broken makefile.  I've not
had time to dig through it to figure out where a fix is
needed, but it looks simple enough:


rm -f /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled
rm: /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled: is a directory
gmake[3]: *** [install-compiled] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory

Thanks for your time and interest ...
