freebsd stable - Jan 2015 - xorg 1.14 and FreeBSD 8.4

Thanks, this is undoubtedly my problem.  But I can't find a "drm2"
module in my 8.4 source tree.   Is it hidden in a port somewhere?
Manually loading drm, iic, iicbb, iicbus, and radeon modules doesn't
seem to get me going; startup still fails with

[ 39318.594] (EE) RADEON(0): [drm] Failed to load kernel module for
pci:0000:01:05.0: No such file or directory

I appreciate your help.                                -- George

George,

You are right - the drm2 directory does not exist in 8.4.  This may be a bit
of a stopper; could be the new Xorg will not operate on 8. I see drm2 exists
in 9.3, however. It appears to be related to Kernel Mode Setting.
