--- Comment #4 from Jean-Sébastien Pédron <dumbbell at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi!

I don't consider your card as "old hardware". I believe it's supported by the
new kernel driver available in FreeBSD 9.3 and 10.0 and later. And Mesa 10.3.0,
committed one or two weeks ago, works way better than Mesa 7.6 or 9.1. In the
end, your card should perform better with the new drivers and ports.

Do you still have this problem today?

To answer your question regarding the usage of versioned ports, we couldn't do
this because xserver, Mesa and libdrm are dependencies of many other ports. And
the Ports tree has no facility to say "This port depends on libGL, no matter
the version". This feature is planned but meanwhile, the graphics ports behind
WITH_NEW_XORG are now enabled by default and this flag is being removed.
