I understand.  I did not necessarily consider hald to be culprit in 
relation to the DRI option.

However, building ports without HAL may (or may not) be useful in the 
situation where hald from 6.0 is being run on 7.0 and 8.0, especially 
since hald has build-time specifics based upon the OS version.
