Hi guys.
I updated yesterday to the new Xorg 7.4 on my laptop. After rebuilding
many of my ports due to the libxcb dependency, I stumbled upon a this
error:

The X server stops responding: nothing on the screen changes. Until I
move the mouse cursor.
Then, everything is normal for some time. And when I stop moving the
mouse, it freezes again after a short time.

It happens randomly, but it can be surely triggered by trying to
change the brightness of the screen with Fn function.
Is anybody else experience the same issue ?

No. But you're not providing enough info. What graphics card do you have? Is it a touchpad or a mouse, and what kind? What drivers are you using? Any errors in xorg logs?

Sounds like an Intel graphics chipset problem. Please post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (using CODE tags for readability).
