So, the DRI option has absolutely nothing to do with kbd/mouse. I expect that what you are actually seeing is a hard lockup, quite possibly a gpu crash. At the moment, the drm support in 7 and 8 should be in sync, but 9-CURRENT has 3d bits for radeon r600+ cards. Additionally, libdrm and dri enable/disable certain code paths based on kernel headers found at build time. It is quite possible that these are not entirely compatible with the compat libs right now. I would expect the damage to be constrained to one or both of the above ports though. robert. -- Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD
