Thanks for all the help guys. The problem was the result of my own
stupidity.
I went through some code trying to find out why the wrong modules were
loaded, and I discovered that I previously commented out this line in
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel/Makefile:
EXTRA_PATCHES+= ${PATCHDIR}/extra-i915kms
This patch is for -CURRENT since the name of the module changed when
kib@ imported the code to -CURRENT:
- intel->drmSubFD = drmOpen("i915", busid);
+ intel->drmSubFD = drmOpen("i915kms", busid);
Since I built -CURRENT from around 3 months ago and an up-to-date ports
tree, I had to remove this patch to make it work. So it fell apart when
I tried to upgrade to the lastest -CURRENT...
Apparently portsnap doesn't overwrite local modifications to the ports
tree unless there are updates (unlike csup), so the patch wasn't
included until I discovered my mistake.
Next time I'll keep a list of local changes for my ports tree, so I
don't shoot myself in the foot again. Sorry for the noise.
