I updated the below listed ports on one of my systems today using portmaster. The system is running 9.0 Current updated yesterday.

After updating these ports, I am unable to start an XFCE4 session. I get a blank blue screen with a mouse cursor and a blank white task bar. The system is locked up. I cannot even ctl-alt-F2 or even ctl-alt-del.

Probably a problem with xf86-video-ati 6.14.1.

Could be this one: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?201103251935.27259.jkim

Last evening's portsnap brought down the updated

xf86-video-ati-6.14.1_1 X.Org ati display driver

that included the fix.

Many thanks to all who answered the original post and the contributers who are always appreciated.
