Do I need to update some ports? because with kernel from HEAD I have
encountered problems when drm is loaded (agp + drm + i915)
astro/stellarium caused deadlock, only mouse pointer could move, if I did not
started it, system will panic anyway after some time. I did not yet tested
vty switching,....

related hardware:

hostb0@pci0:0:0:0:      class=0x060000 card=0x30a2103c chip=0x27a08086 rev=0x03
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '955XM/945GM/PM/GMS/940GML Express Processor to DRAM
Controller'
    class      = bridge
    subclass   = HOST-PCI
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x30a2103c chip=0x27a28086
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Mobile 945GM/GU Express Integrated Graphics Controller'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
vgapci1@pci0:0:2:1:     class=0x038000 card=0x30a2103c chip=0x27a68086
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Mobile 945GM/GU Express Integrated Graphics Controller'
    class      = display

also if Xorg is never started, trying to unload agp.ko
(after unloading i915.ko and drm.ko) module will cause panic.
