I've got the WITH_NEW_XORG and WITH_GALLIUM make.conf options in there
already, and reinstalled all the xorg packages... but still had trouble
getting drm2 to work.... though I just used "pkg install"... I'm
thinking I have to go through the pain of building all of it in ports...
the more I think on it, the more that sounds right, since make.conf
options probably aren't going to do anything for prebuilt binaries...
d'oh!

Seems like it might be:
$ grep 6950 /usr/src/sys/dev/drm2/drm_pciids.h
{0x1002, 0x6719, CHIP_CAYMAN|RADEON_NEW_MEMMAP, "Cayman PRO [Radeon HD
6950]"}, \
Other than that, no idea how to tell for sure at present...
Guess I'll try rebuilding all of xorg with those make.conf options for
now.
