Maybe it's a FAQ, but it seems to me that both on-demand kernel module loading and loading them in /boot/loader.conf is broken on recent RELENG_6. I've an ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 and self-built RELENG_6. When I started X, X.org server reports that no DRI available. Manual looking into /dev shows that no /dev/dri directory presents at all. Loading radeon.ko in /boot/loader.conf doesn't fix the problem. Also no DRM-related lines appears in dmesg output. But problem goes away after adding line "device radeondrm" to kernel configuration file, rebuilding kernel and rebooting the machine. Direct Rendering Manager initialises correctly, and node /dev/dri/card0 exists. Are there any suggestions for additional testing? -- Andrew Kolchoogin. --------------030003050708060203010509--
