Hello, I've just downloaded the dri-7.4.4,2.tbz from this link : ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.0-release/graphics/ and the r600_dri.so driver is NOT included in the unpacked /lib/dri folder. As I said, I had to copy the r600_dri driver from a working PCBSD 9.0 system to make my ATI HD 4850 work. kind regards, Dirk System information: AMD phenom II X4 on Asus M4A77T/USB3 mainboard 4GB ddr3 Asus ATI 4850 FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 with blackbox window manager.
