Thanks for the reply.
Well, this is in a VM, which reports the graphics adapter as:
vgapci0 at pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00000000 chip=0xbeef80ee
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH'
device = 'VirtualBox Graphics Adapter'
class = display
subclass = VGA
When I put the two suggested enties into make.conf, xorg-server fails to
compile, saying that it requires dri >= 7.8, whereas my installed dri is
7.6.1_3,2 (from the Ports collection).
