drmAvailable() opens and closes its own DRM file desriptor, which
shouldn't have such side effects on existing DRM file descriptors. Could
there be a bug in the DRM BSD code? Does the same problem occur on Linux
for you? I've never seen it, FWIW.

At any rate, you may want to move this to the dri-devel list.
