Leif, 

this is very, very cool. Uhhh. I note you don't have BSD support yet. 
What would it take to frob up a drm driver?

If there were one of those, wouldn't it be possible to use the binary 
ATI drivers from your website? After all, the (ostensibly) Linux GATOS 
ATI modules run just fine on FreeBSD (I use 'em to get 'xv').
