Strange.  It works fine for me:

(II) I810(0): Allocated 64 kB for the scratch buffer at 0xffee000
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 9, (OK)
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 9, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:00:02.0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 9, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 9
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:00:02.0
(II) I810(0): [drm] DRM interface version 1.2
(II) I810(0): [drm] created "i915" driver at busid "pci:0000:00:02.0"
(II) I810(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xc5307000
(II) I810(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xc5307000 to 0x28744000
(II) I810(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xc0020000
(II) I810(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel
.. etc. ...

Are you sure that you're using the latest RELENG_6 _and_
the latest Xorg development snapshot?  You need both for
things to work correctly.

(I'm not using DRM/DRI, because I'm not playing games on
my notebook, and I don't need 3D OpenGL "screen savers"
either, but according to the logs and everything, it is
detected and initialized correctly.  However, I am using
the XVideo extension for full-screen video playback with
hardware acceleration, and that requires the presence of
DRM, too -- that's why I configured it in my kernel.)

Best regards
