Very odd, but I installed the package on Sunday (6-Sept.) and my system had
no /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so. Only scfb and
vesa. I built the port (once I had downloaded the ports tree) and it had
the modesetting driver and X started up just fine. I was assuming that udev
vs. devd was the issue, as that is the only option (other than wrapper). Is
installing modesetting controlled by something else?
