Eric,
First off, let me say: Good work on the porting, it's nice to see the
OS independence put to the test.

Yes, at this point, the Radeon DRM, version 1.3, on the TCL branch has
been heavily tested for backwards compatability with official XFree86
releases. However, keep in mind that we do break compatabiliy on
internal releases. So, the 1.3 module from early March has a different
interface than the 1.3 we have today. 1.3 won't be officially frozen
until it is merged into XFree86 and released.

Mergin the drmcommand tcl bits is something I've opted to wait on. TCL
isn't merged into the trunk, yet, for a reason. When it has stabilized
(and been merged to the trunk), you may want to revisit your BSD
version.

The TCL branch is mesa 4 based as well. The trunk has Mesa 4.0.2 merged
in recently. What time frame and which branch were you having trouble
with?
