I can confirm this for Radeon 7000 as well. Xorg 6.8[.1] is a regression
on ATI hardware. On 6.8.0 the server enables DRI but hangs very soon
(read: after 5-10 mins). The good news: This is not a FreeBSD specific
problem, the same happens on Gentoo, emerge xorg 6.8 and lose DRI. The
bad news is that it's a royal PITA to debug :/

Cheers,
