For me it happens on 10.0-CURRENT/amd64 with xorg-7.5.2, xorg-server-1.10.6_2,1, nvidia-driver 313.18 (from patched port) and firefox-19.0,1. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
