Ever since one person known as 'erek' showed me DRI-HEAD i've learned that XFree86 4.3.0 is just a little outdated.

Perhaps for other cards, but there's still no native Xv support for Mach64-based adaptors (such as the Rage Mobility M1 fitted to many laptops) in 4.3, you need the GATOS drivers for this. (The M6 fitted to many slighly later laptops is a completely different chipset that uses the Radeon driver, IIRC.

At least I have had no problems with Xv on my Radeon 7000 with XFree86 4.3.0 and I seem to recall that support was claimed for all Radeons except, perhaps the 9500. Before the 4.3.0 release, I ran the radeon and ati drivers built from CVS on a Linux system. (At least until the API changed.) XFree86 drivers for x86 processors should be OS independent. This was some really cool work by the XFree86 folks. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Re: 3D graphic cards
Hi, You might want to try the Gatos drivers from http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ . With this driver, I got the ATi chipset in my laptop working with Xv support. 3D acceleration is not tied to Xv support, in fact, there are many video drivers that support Xv but not 3D (open source nv drivers, newer ATi drivers for Radeon 9500, 9700 and 9800, the gatos drivers...).

3D graphic cards
Hello, is there any list that provides information about what graphic cards on FreeBSD have supported 3D acceleration? (I need only X-Video support in particular, but it seems tied to 3D acceleration). I just learned that the following card is unsupported: :) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x03 card=0x00081002 chip=0x474d1002 rev=0x65 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies' device = 'Rage XL AGP 2x' class= display subclass = VGA Regards, Julian -- Support strong cryptography.
