I have upgraded to 8.0-RC1 (from 7.2-STABLE) on my MacBook 4,1. I did
so by checking out stable/8 under /usr/src, rebuilding kernel/world,
and using portupgrade to update all installed ports from packages
available on the 8.0RC1 DVD-iso.
Since the update, my X11 is laggy. Now, I often have to move the mouse
before keystrokes/button presses take effect.
Make sure hal and dbus are enabled in rc.conf and running. In xorg.conf,
remove Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off".
A bonus of using hal is that you can remove the keyboard and mouse sections
from xorg.conf.
As I've mentioned, I've updated the kernel/world, and updated
libpciaccess. Perhaps I'm having issues because I need to remove old
libs. How do I remove old libs?
cd /usr/src
make check-old-libs
make delete-old-libs
I deleted old libs using 'make delete-old-libs' from /usr/src, but
that has led to many other problems.
It seems many libraries currently in use were deleted in the process.
I'm having to rebuild/reinstall many of my applications to get them
working again.
When upgrading from one major release of FreeBSD to another, the
standard recommendation is to delete all installed applications
(pkg_delete -a) and then reinstall everything. There may be some
incantation of portupgrade or portmaster that will do it. pkg_libchk
from sysutils/bsdadminscripts may help. But that is likely to take
longer than just pkg_delete -a and reinstalling applications.
