+ AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg and all xorg ports
+ AUTHOR: dumbbell@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The X.Org server (x11-servers/xorg-server) is updated to 1.14. All
+ ports which provide X.Org drivers must be updated simultaneously, i.e.
+ x11-drivers/xf86-*, emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions, net/tigervnc,
+ etc.
+
+ The input device autodetection backend is switched from HAL to devd.
+ If you configure your keyboard layout through HAL .fdi files, you need
+ to migrate this configuration to plain X.Org configuration files.
+
+ Up-to-date instructions and a description of the changes brought by
+ this update are detailed in a blog post:
