I think that old X stack should not be dropped until at least, GPU 
locking problem is resolved, what we can say about Xorg stability under 
FreeBSD if one should reset one's desktop every week or so with lots of 
lost files? I cannot really use KMS drivers at all because of this 
problem. I've lost enough data while trying to test radeon kms, and I 
cannot switch from old xorg to new one. Is it possible to build new xorg 
without kms and with old radeon driver?
