So something occurred to me last night... I've seen these same symptoms
before when trying to get DRI working on FreeBSD a long time ago... On
another machine, if I accidentally had the AGPSize set to a value higher
than was set in the BIOS, I saw the exact same problem in FreeBSD (but
not in Linux, which didn't have any problem with that particular
situation). I don't have any config options set for GARTSize, but could
something similar be happening now?

Hello all,
I'm having a problem getting direct rendering working on one of my
workstations. I'm running FreeBSD -CURRENT from November 17th with Xorg
installed from the modular Xorg ports tree yesterday (though I first
noticed this a couple weeks back when I built modular Xorg using
jhbuild):
[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ~ ]: Xorg -version
X Window System Version 7.1.1
Release Date: 12 May 2006
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT i386
Current Operating System: FreeBSD sorrow.ashke.com 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD
7.0-CURRENT #7: Tue Nov 14 08:33:41 EST 2006

Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present
If I boot up with DRI enabled in the config file, the server starts, but
the very top of the screen shows some visual corruption.

I dropped the resolution of the image from 2304x864 to 1600x800, but you
can still make out the corruption. What's particularly odd, though, is
that the root window is never drawn. The background you see is actually
the background from my previous X session (when I had DRI disabled),
using windowmaker. This time I launched X and had fvwm2 in my .xinitrc
file (you can see the outline of the fvwm pager in the screenshot,
though that never finished drawing, either).
After that nothing else gets drawn. I can move the mouse pointer, but
that's about it. I can safely kill X and restart it, but the same thing
happens unless I disable DRI.
In comparison, I have another workstation with an AGP x700. -CURRENT
from the same date, and modular Xorg from the ports tree from yesterday,
too. It works just fine (starts up fine, and the mesa demos run with
acceleration).
You can find the Xorg log file from the PCIe system at
http://www.visualtech.com/Xorg.0.log.gz
This seems to be a FreeBSD specific problem as the same PCIe x800 works
fine with the OSS drivers under Linux, but no on on the freebsd-x11
lists seems to have any ideas, and I'm running out of ideas. I thought
some of the great minds on this list might be able to shed some light.
Any ideas? Thanks!
