Hello, curious situation with Mozilla?  I am not developing or 
debugging at the moment but merely just using. Last week i updated 
from FreeBSD13.1 to 13.4. Everything working in 13.1 but my FireFox so 
outdated it was being rejected. After installing everything from 
packaging and getting Xorg working everything seemed fine. XFCE 
installed and ran with a few tweaks. Both FF and Thunderbird would not 
start unless safe mode was invoked. I disabled composting in both and 
they start and work perfectly sans acceleration. So after checking 
around i find numerous posts about failing graphics stacks not being 
able to connect. This may not affect u but it is definitely a thing.

Is this the end of Xorg and should we be using wayland?

The grass isn't greener in wayland either.  Even on Linux systems, I've 
seen issues with thunderbird running very slow or hanging for periods.  
It seems related to the message viewer code.

Error report on FreeBSD-14.2-BETA2 - graphics problem

[Zahemszky Gábor]

Hi!

On a Lenovo Thinkpad T470 (with an Intel Core i7-6600U CPU plus an Intel 
GPU), I have this problem:


I cannot switch into character based virtual terminals from
the X11 graphical screen. When I press Alt-Ctrl-F[1-7] the
machine "freeze" - it doesn't do anything, mouse / keyboard
doesn't work after it. I can only halt the machine with
the power button.

It worked under 14.1 - on all of the patch levels.

$ pciconf -lv

Error report on FreeBSD-14.2-BETA2 - kernel modul problem

[Zahemszky Gábor]

# kldload gpiospi

kldload: can't load gpiospi: module already loaded or in kernel

It's not true: "kldstat -v | fgrep -A 5 gpio" doesn't show it.

But on the console

===
KLD gpiospi.ko: depends on gpiospi - not available or version mismatch

gpiospi depends on gpiospi
