I did wonder about the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Apart from the "DynamicPM" option, all other options mentioned in UPDATING are the defaults, according to radeon(4). So why set them? The data from my Xorg.0.log seems to confirm that they are all activated. For the record, I've set _none_ of the options mentioned in UPDATING in my xorg.conf, and it _still works_ if the wacky patch is removed. With the patch, no combination of options produces a working driver. BTW, I think it should read "Int10" instead of "int10" in UPDATING?
