Thanks for your work! I've tested on an AMD GPU (V4800) and it (still) works! I don't think it's related to your work but I faced the following issue: I needed to manually kldload radeonkms and various firmwares, libdrm didn't automagically load them (I've compiled the packages with these flags: WITH_GALLIUM=yes WITH_NEW_MESA=yes), is it a known issue? I failed to get X working on a Intel Haswell Graphics 4xxx, is it supposed to work? If needed, logs of my system are at [1] [1] http://mikael.urankar.free.fr/FreeBSD/CFT_drm_context/
