Install of graphics/linux_dri is about to be implemented for amd64. It's been tested with at least a couple of ports (skype for one) and they work correctly with it installed. I've posted a list of the ports which could be affected by this here:
http://freebsd.alaskaparadise.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=LinuxDriAmd64 These ports are already marked ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386, so this change shouldn't have any affect on them. However, please bear in mind that linux_dri is not yet fully functional on the amd64 platform and applications using it will fall back to software rendering. While this is acceptable for ports like skype, it could cause serious performance issues with games and apps like google-earth (which is known to be completely broken with this). If you maintain one of these ports, or plan to port one to the tree, please thoroughly test for acceptable performance on amd64 before blindly enabling it. I will be tracking and dealing with any fallout this causes, and contacting maintainers directly. If you have any issues, please contact me.
