In reply to CFT there is successful KMS on a semi productive desktop box.
Thanks to ~kib, ~miwi and all contributors who develop a pretty alternative
to VESA mode :)

~kib's all.13.2.patch was used for KMS.  No error messages on console.
Tests where made with xorg-7.5.2 and xorg-server-1.10.6,1.
x11-servers/xorg-server was compiled a) with craptastic hald(8) b) without
hald(8).  Both versions are okay.
Windowmanagers tested: x11-wm/windowmaker and x11-wm/xfce4.
Not tested: real GL apps.

Switching from tty to xorg display lasts roundabout 3s.  Desktop feels fast
enough for development.

Installation path:
* fresh installed R9 upgraded to HEAD
* svn co xorg/xorgmerge
# cd /ports/x11/xorg && make install clean
