No. I'm still on 9-stable.  I may move to head one day soon. Probably
before I try the KMS patches, though I am running xorg-devel.

Ouch! Never had any problems with that, though I did have a bit of an
issue with my wired Ethernet when I first got the system. Newer
versions would not install and 8.1 did not have the driver to support
this chip. I had to play shuffle the drivers (install 8.1, pull in the

going. Both issues are now ancient history, but it made me very
nervous for a few days.
