I had the same problem this week. In the Makefile of the xf86-video-ati
port is a line with something like:
if $OSVERSION < 100000 | !WITH_NEW_XORG | !i386 | !amd64
then
WITH_NEW_XORG=off
endif
So this port will never compile the new version of the driver on 9-STABLE.
If you remove the $OSVERSION < 100000 part it will compile and work
correctly.
Regards,
Ronald.
