Details

I did a fresh -current install today. I installed gnome, some gnome-apps and openoffice. But when I tried to start it it said something like:

can't initialize drm (operation not permitted)
Reverting to (slow) software rendering

I found this a very strange message, since as far as I know, Openoffice is slowest, modern GUI app in existance and definitely isn't backed by OpenGL.

But when I configured drm properly (change VESA to i810 in xorg.conf), it still wouldn't start. I don't get ANY message whatsoever anymore.
This task depends upon
