hi folks. i've gotten native xorg server updated to 1.18.4 and working for me on i386, amd64 and shark. more testing is needed. to test, simply pass -V HAVE_XORG_SERVER_VER=118 to build.sh or set it in mk.conf. if you'd like to test, i recommend having a completely clean obj and destdir for it (one of the failure modes is kdump not building.) i also welcome help porting to other platforms, or updating drivers (many older drivers are disabled with the newer server mostly due to needing to be updated for modern xorg-server APIs.) this also enables the xf86-video-amdgpu driver that supports modern amd gpus. as always, please send-pr to send me email about issues. .mrg.
