freebsd stable - May 2007 - Xorg 7.2 upgrade - success!

Hello,

Just a quick-ish note to thank everyone involved in making the Xorg
upgrade process: thank you all!

I just upgraded a ThinkPad T41 (running 6.2-stable / i386 from early
april) following the upgrade process in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
The only "trick" I had to use was this (which I found on the -x11
mailinglist):
mkdir /usr/local/oldX11
mv /usr/X11R6/* /usr/local/oldX11/

before running mergebase.sh

After that, I created a new xorg.conf (using X -configure) and added my
settings to it (keyboard language).
Even xdm works (it still doesn't look good, but it never has)!

Again, thanks for all the hard work!

Try out my Xresources, Xsetup_0, and Xstartup_0 if you don't like xdm
as it is...

If you have x11/xscreensaver installed it'll look great!
