Hi.
> Sorry for the delay to get back to you (including your private emails).
Not a problem, those were various reports left to your judgment as to their=
 significance. Better to provide more information rather than less.

slim failure: Traced to dbus start failure at bootup. Slim now starts, afte=
r manual start of dbus.
GDM failure: Starts, but after taking a long time. I'll send Koop the log f=
iles from my recent attempt.

I can confirm this is still an issue. I'll try to get to it at the soonest.

> the unkillable processes are interesting. If you can reproduce
I really don't know how it came about, so no promises. The most interesting=
 part of that error however, was the behaviour of vt(4). The problem is not=
 only unkillable processes, but TTY freeze when doing an unrelated action t=
o the locked process. I mean, nano or top have nothing to do with webkit-gt=
k3, yet caused TTY freeze (due to GPU lock-up I ignorantly presume)

> the flickering you see with some applications/desktop environments
This is really serious. It has lessened, but not gone away.
Additionally, I started to get a "sticky mouse" problem some time ago
and I'm inclined to agree with HPS' assessment that "drm2.ko graphics
driver has some hard spinning loops" (http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/=
Some-unresolved-but-important-X-org-problems-td5987904.html)
Have not had the hardware to test with different GPU unfortunately.

Regards.
