Hi!

Sorry for the delay in the response, I was busy with other activities
for the past three weeks.

Yes, those are known issues from Mesa and the port. However, Mesa 8.0.5
may be too old for many Radeon cards unfortunately, including yours. I'm
working on a patch to make Mesa Git build on FreeBSD. I'll post it on
the wiki once it's finished.

You don't need to test further, it won't work: the driver has a locking
issue. OpenGL applications get stuck and are unkillable. Other
applications still work though.

Thanks for the feedback!
