9.1-PRERELEASE, 9.1-STABLE  r244955 and another 9.1-STABLE. All machines
have WITH_NEW_XORG=yes and WITH_KMS=yes.
Two machines use the nvidia blob ( quadro nvs 3100m and gt420 cards ) and
the other one is using intel gpu on a sandy bridge core i5, (class=0x030000
card=0x04ee1028 chip=0x01028086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00) according to pciconf.

They all run with xorg-related ports from revision 633 of svn.
