I've never had DRI / X working... The problem(s) you're having sounds like the problems I was having... Comment out 'Load "dri"' in xorg.conf and try it again. Nikolas, Alistair - There is still active work going on in the DRI/DRM section of X.org for ATI/Radeon. There were some partial fixes posted to FreeDesktop.org's bugzilla, but they require X 6.9.0-CURRENT. Nikolas' suggestion (commenting Load "DRI") does work, but I was able to get the DRI to function (with 3D OpenGL) using CURRENT X (as of two months ago; it may be even better now.)
I can't seem to find any devel snapshots on the xorg website?... and I'm already running 6.9.0 (It's still broken, but fails more gracefully.): xorg-clients-6.9.0_2 xorg-libraries-6.9.0 xorg-server-6.9.0_1 dri-6.4.1,2 gle-3.0.3_2 -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
