My eVGA 7950 board doesn't work with xorg and the errors say

dlopen: /usr/pkg/xorg/lib/modules/libfb.so: Cannot write-enable text segment: Permission denied

It's pr 35546.

xfree86 works, however.

Also, the kernel hangs if I try to use a SATA CDROM in AHCI mode on my
Asus board. I haven't gotten a kernel dump and I haven't been successful
getting kgdb over serial working but I'm still trying.
