Ok, now that agp seems to be working... I have created a port for the
2.9.1 version of the Intel driver. You will need to uninstall the
existing intel driver and install this one. You still won't have drm,
but should be a good bit better than vesa...

Please let me know how it goes. You will likely want to use UXA
acceleration with this driver.

I tried disabling a few load lines in xorg.conf:
#Load "glx"
#Load "dri"
#Load "dri2"
Is that the correct way to do it?

Anyway, it didn't make a difference - xfce4-session still crashes when doing
'startxfce4'.

How do I do that for a user program?

The server also exits. If this is caused by startxfce4 when It can't start
xfce4-session or a window manager, I do not know. (startxfce4 is like
startx, but for Xfce).

According to the dates and timestamps in /var/db/pkg and subdirectories, the
'portupgrade -af' that I did have rebuilt all ports.
Rebuilding libGL and libGLU ports (via portupgrade -f) now.... didn't help.
Ok, trying this now:
portupgrade -f dri dri2proto xf86driproto

Well, that didn't help either.

Lightly tested on an Acer notebook with Radeon X1250 graphics. xfce4
with compositing works, GL screensavers work. Thanks!
