Consider switching to an actively maintained X server

[probonopd]

Since freedesktop.org is badmouthing X11 and is preventing X.Org from being actively developed, we should switch to an X server that is actively maintained and has a positive attitude to supporting X11 as soon as possible ("possible" = available in FreeBSD Quarterly Packages).

Candidates:

• XLibre, an actively maintained fork of X.Org - https://github.com/b-aaz/xlibre-ports
• wayback, a modern X server which is using Wayland as its hardware abstraction layer: https://github.com/kaniini/wayback

In any case, we need the software in FreeBSD Ports and quarterly Packages so that we can adopt it.

Wholly agree. But I'd guess we should wait for a stable release of XLibre first before updating anyways. I'm not sure if FreeBSD would add XLibre to their libraries though, we may have to build it from scratch.

I'd say, however, let's use something Wayland related, and try to add Wayland support, because it would help us get feature parity with Linux too in a lot of cases. HDR and VRR is being worked on actively in the KDE & Gnome space, maybe we can borrow some implementations from them, maybe.
