Awesome stuff, I was porting Alex' old patch to 10-STABLE as well, just the
other day, but I couldn't yet get the right incantation going to let Xorg
boot up (it still complained about not being able to read /dev/mem and then
it found dri/card0 but kept probing and then died).

Anyway, I will be able to give the new patches a go next week and will
report back. I "only" want to get XBMC neatly installed in a jail (for pkg
pollution only) and bound to a specific IP (which might help my
zeroconf/upnp visibility problems).

Cheers,
Uli
