Further info, on December 1st /usr/ports/graphics/dri is the correct dri for XFree86-4. I have all of this running on a AMD450 so it is a bit slow, my guess is I'll have solid answers in about 4 hours and the quick fix will probably be to de-install graphics/xfree86-dri then run portmanager -u. > Thanks again!
