There isn't much the OS can do. As for that bug, I'm already in contact with the X.org developers and trying to do a deeper debugging on what's going on. The driver developer himself said he cannot test that on FreeBSD, thus not assuring it full functionality. So it looks much more to be a X.org problem than FreeBSD one.
