Updating ports and source of my FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64 host, equipted

been recently update as far as I saw),
resulted this morning in an 'un-login-able' box.

I see the xdm-login requester, but after successfully login, I see for a

the desktop (windowmaker), but X11 immediately dies and resets to the xdm
requester again.
Are you subscribed to our x11 list?  It's quite low volume.
Please see recent messages in its archive, perhaps they could help you.


Hello.

No, I'm actually not subscribed to that list. Since the problem occured
since yesterday's update out of the blue, I thought it could be more
FreeBSD related than X11 related. But I will reply to the X11 list as
well. I simply forgot in my desperate pain, sorry.

See
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2011-March/010737.html

I downgraded the AMD/ATi driver to version xf86-video-ati-6.14.0_1, I
desperately need my boxes since I have to finish work.
Three different types of AMD/ATi graphics cards out of the same product
class are not working with the new xf86-video-ati-6.14.1 and as the
above mentioned link suggests, the solution is well known. I was
wondering how this port could be so easily slipped into the repository ...

Since the patch Jun-uk Kim referred to is a GIT patch and it seems to
work, is there a 'simple' way without installing the GIT stuff from
ports to patch the defective port?

Have you looked at the link?  The patch is trivial and can easily be
applied by hand.

Yes I did.
