Please try to run a program using OpenGL with debug flags, e.g.

LIBGL_DEBUG=YES MESA_DEBUG=YES teapot

One problem will probably be that the graphics/dri Port assumes that
posix_memalign is present in FreeBSD, which is not true for FreeBSD 6,
so the r300_dri.so object will fail to load. I have DRI working on a
X850 based PCI express card in my FreeBSD 6.2 pre machine, so getting
the X800 working should be possible.
