I agree but for example graphics/dri port is from 2009? It is anywhere a little slow update...IMO.
There is a reason for this. Newer Radeon and Intel drivers use kernel mode setting (KMS) which is linux specific. It has been a challenge for the BSD's to work with/around this "feature". It is a goal to have the newer drivers for FreeBSD 9.1 and OpenBSD already has a partial implementation. If you search the web using KMS and BSD you will get more information.
