That's funny knowing I have a ATI Radeon 7200 and I have ALWAYS
supported FreeBSD and the ATI Radeon for ages.  Ever since one person
known as 'erek' showed me DRI-HEAD i've learned that XFree86 4.3.0 is
just a little outdated.

I use DRI-HEAD on my other server that is using a Matrox G400 Dual Head
also, works snappy on 5.1

I stopped relying on XFree to keep updating their stuff along time ago. 
I've had problems with DRI admitidly but it works now.

They get the kinks out in waves if you ask me.
