Hi Johannes,

Are you using the packaged Xorg in both cases?  Currently, the default for 10 
is the old (pre-KMS) X.org and the default for 11 (HEAD) is the newer 
(post-KMS) one.  If you're using the default one, would you mind trying the new 
one?  You can build it from ports by putting this in your make.conf:

WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
WITH_GALLIUM=yes

I'm currently running it with AMD graphics on 10-RC4 and finding it works a lot 
better than the older version, and we're considering enabling it for the 
10.0-RELEASE.  The down side is that, without newcons, you lose working VTs 
after X has started.

The wiki now has the update procedure:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Installing_KMS_Ports

This will work either to update an already-installed X, or to install it from scratch (just install x11/xorg afterwards). It has been tested on 9.2 and 10-STABLE.
