xorg-modular-exp
I did some more work on the xorg modular ports for FreeBSD today. Bunches of dependencies are fixed up, there's a working libGL, and some server updates. At this point a lot of the work left is tedious little stuff -- adding comments and descriptions to the ports, adding a couple more missing packages, and fixing up dependencies and a few plists.

The big step remaining is going to be when we test setting X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in bsd.port.mk. This will likely have significant fallout with ports that assume X11BASE=/usr/X11R6, though in theory ports are already clean for this (Ha! Ha!). And then after that we have to come up with some sort of script for people to run to migrate their existing systems' X11BASE over to LOCALBASE. That may be ugly.

Got an estimate as to when we will see this committed to the ports? Also, do XGL/compiz need to be worked on separately?

No ETA on it, as with pretty much any open source work. I don't plan to do XGL (finding the current incarnation of XGL pretty much uninteresting), but compiz could certainly get packaged with patches to make it work against the xorg server. I've ran it on my i915.

However, we'll need AIGLX to be more stabilized for that. It's in pretty bad shape on FreeBSD currently. i915 has a crash in dlclose() on server exit, and radeon has a hang on startup with locking issues.

Any chance of linux-dri for i915?

Only when we update the xorg 2d driver, which is blocked on modular integration.
