At least two combined changes happened at the same time to the BSD drm code (vblank-rework as well as r5xx/r6xx support). I've been trying to get the latter one working, but in the process I think I might have gotten bit by the former. The drm code has almost always been continually developed in the mesa/drm git tree at freedesktop.org, with snapshots being merged into the FreeBSD tree as new features and changes settle. I am confident that when more of these outstanding issues are resolved, the resulting code will get merged. A likely result of just merging everything now might be a sudden breakage of DRI for numerous R1xx, R2xx, R3xx, and R4xx users who already have good, working DRI support. It would be better if the deluge of PR's was limited to the users of R5xx and above cards, who right now don't have DRI support. I am also confident that this will happen real-soon-now.
