shan't reinstall (unless advised otherwise).
Although installing DragonFly on a virtual machine (e.g., VirtualBox) is
a good idea, many of my symptoms seem to be to do with the particular
hardware of the laptop. so I'll continue with the real machine for now.
Thanks again

Maybe you should try no-gui DFBSD image, perhaps in VirtualBox (?) - it works
fine on Mac OS X.
That way, you can install configure all your needed stuff from the ground up
(xorg, window manager, pkgsrc etc.) and copy most config files on your real DF
system.

That's a good idea (and I have vbox to hand). Many of the problems

though it seems to be supported to build (some releases) of DragonFly on

They all quickly die in buildworld during bootstrap-tools phase.
