Well, that doesn't help very much. As R. Noland wrote, the error
coming
up isn't of any harm.
I still have Firefox3 not working on a FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/AMD64 UP
box,
running the most recent FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT and having now recompiled
three time EVERYTHING, Firefox3 inclusive. Firefox3 is still stuck
when
it comes to pulldown menus or requester for download destination,
eating
up 100% CPU time and slowing down the box incredible. I pretty sure I
have all the stuff of the X11 suite in the right place and the right
revision number, as I said, I recompiled everything three times and I
did several attempts upgrading the whole Xorg since sunday last week.
You have 2 choices:
- revert to known working xorg-server-1.4 (xorg 7.3)
- try to debug this using the send-pr system, given the ammount of
problems
people are posting with this xorg-server, more datapoints are not a
bad
thing.
As a sidenote, it would be nice if xorg-server14 port would be
created till
the dust has settled.
I don't have an issue with any cairo related ports after upgrading to
xorg 7.4. Of course I had to rebuild everything dependent on libxcb,
but that took no more than one iteration to complete (apart from
xchat2, which took 4 iterations to finish because of some wonky
library mucking up the works). Yay for statically linked library code -
