Without EXA and DRI the graphics card works well, but when enabling EXA and/or DRI, system goes mustang. Ctrl-Alt-FX doesn't bring back a console, the tty is 'blinking' as it looks like the X server tries to start and fails. On another box, running FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/amd64, but SMP and MSI HD4670, with EXA and DRI enabled the whole box crashes immediately when loading Xserver. Without EXA and DRI, leaving a windowmaker session and therefore ending the Xserver kills the box, the OS dies and coredumps or hangs forever with a tiled screen showing 3 rows of 6 columns of the console screen on a 20,1 inch TFT.
