Ok, if X doesn't try to open drm, then nothing will show up as being mapped. If you do a "sysctl hw.dri" it will show the mappings, but the above grep is cutting out most of the useful info. > If I run startx with DRI "True" or without an xorg.conf, the > screen goes into standby as if the pc is turned off, the mouse and > keyboard stops responding to keypresses (ie. numlock-led will not > respond to me pressing the key.) and I cannot ssh into the machine.

This sounds suspiciously like a WITNESS issue... I wonder if I have accidentally MFC'd something that isn't safe.
