For those who have frustrating glitches with applications
such as glxgears on Intel integrated graphics, the
following libdrm bug report may be of interest.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100077
"libdrm atomic_add_unless() may reverse return value meaning"

A one character patch allows glxgears to run on
DragonFly using a hacked version of pkgsrc on an
Intel IvyBridge integrated graphics machine.
