I was not aware about this. To me the kernel was supposed to send orders directly to the device through standard mecanisms and so, while a new feature as some 3D stuff or whatever was required by Xorg, it would work. I use a normal FreeBSD 8.2p2 amd64 with the xorg port compiled 2 weeks ago. The worse that can happen is my PC freeze or reboot. I'll live with this ;-) I'll test anyways and will keep you posted.
