Hi!

I don't consider your card as "old hardware". I believe it's supported by t=
he
new kernel driver available in FreeBSD 9.3 and 10.0 and later. And Mesa 10.=
3.0,
committed one or two weeks ago, works way better than Mesa 7.6 or 9.1. In t=
he
end, your card should perform better with the new drivers and ports.

Do you still have this problem today?

To answer your question regarding the usage of versioned ports, we couldn't=
 do
this because xserver, Mesa and libdrm are dependencies of many other ports.=
 And
the Ports tree has no facility to say "This port depends on libGL, no matter
the version". This feature is planned but meanwhile, the graphics ports beh=
ind
WITH_NEW_XORG are now enabled by default and this flag is being removed.
