If you go to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11/XFree86-4/?only_with_tag=RELEASE_4_3_0 you'l get a version of the port that *should* build the dri modules you need. You still need to preload agp.ko and mga.ko from /boot/loader.conf, and load the dri module in XF86Config , but you should be OK. Unlike me ,since that port doesn't appear to build tdfx_dri.so ......... If anyone's got DRi on a Voodoo 3 working, please let me know. Ta! -- Moon, n.: 1.
