As far as I know, radeonhd from ports doesn't work with DRI enabled on 
FreeBSD - so it doesn't work on my box either. I guess you're following 
the recommendations using the development brnach directly from GIT.

Thank's for the hint with DRM. I recompiled kernel/world stuff recently 
but I also recompiled all video driver also. I will do this and check 
whether it woul help enabling/disabling drm.ko/radeon.ko (which are both 
loaded when booing the kernel).
