Hello everyone, I've got two machines, a desktop with a Radeon HD 5750 card, and a laptop with a HD 6320. Both run FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE, with WITH_NEW_XORG enabled. The version of xorg in ports works; I need to explicitly disable loading the DRI modules (glx, dri2 and dri), but then I can run X without too many problems, except for some glitches (on the 6320, if I restart X, it behaves very strangely afterwards). However, 7.7 doesn't work at all: without configuration file, with the configuration file from X -configure, with a vanilla 'ati' configuration file, with a vanilla 'vesa' configuration file: in all cases, X segfaults during startup. Now, I've understood that the newer radeons don't work very well with X, so my question: is this normal behaviour, or should this work (without 3D and acceleration, I suppose) and is something going wrong somewhere? Thanks, Jaap P.S. I can send logs, pciconf results, config files, and all that, if necessary, just let me know what is needed.
