The NVIDIA port installs its own bits from the kernel module to the specific libGL.so. The notion of "UMS/KMS" doesn't exist and the port is made to work with all versions of FreeBSD and X.Org server. Therefore, NVIDIA users are not impacted by this change at all.
I think that old X stack should not be dropped until at least, GPU locking problem is resolved, what we can say about Xorg stability under FreeBSD if one should reset one's desktop every week or so with lots of lost files? I cannot really use KMS drivers at all because of this problem. I've lost enough data while trying to test radeon kms, and I cannot switch from old xorg to new one. Is it possible to build new xorg without kms and with old radeon driver?
