From BFG. I am on CURRENT. And xorg 6.9.0 Driver section from Xorg? Also, this could be an issue with some changes to the kernel interfaces for AGP / PCI-express, video, ABI, etc.. -CURRENT can be problematic sometimes and something may have gotten broken after an update. You may want to take this question up on the -current@ list though. -Garrett
