Would the FreeBSD team consider the benefits of integrating Xfree86 v4.3.x
for v4.8?!? The upgrade that was done on the video drivers alone was worth
it for me.

Probably, there are several Radeon 7500 chips with different IDs, and
some recent ones are not being recognized by XFree86 4.2.1.

BTW, I think that 4.8-RELEASE should include XFree86 4.3, which
supports additional harware (ATI Radeon 9x00 models, for example), even
if that implies a delay of one or two weeks.
