Re: Xorg r128 driver errors filling "/var"

I had an opportunity to boot -current on the machine and the behavior
is the same.  I'm now bisecting the code to see what change induced the
misbehavior.  Then the pull-ups to -7 can be determined.

Also, sitting at the machine's console, I was able to see how the problem
manifests.  Esswntially, the screen never completes initialization and
the display is full of garbage.  I didn't try to switch VTs to a text
login but used another machine to connect via SSH and recover.  Perhaps
during a future test, I'll see if the keyboard is usable.
