| You do not allow access to the dri device, so I do not expect a panic.

Okay, I have an update.  With Intel graphics and using dri things
work better and I don't get panics.  I load drm.ko & i915.ko before
starting the vimage jail.  X sees it and uses it.  This solves the
suspend/resume issue I had.  The dri issue also prevented suspend and
resume fail to work in a chroot. 

I have not tried switching to using the ATI option.  On a plus side
my laptop is running cooler and faster now.
