X-BeenThere: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 17:53:21 -0000 The last email I sent stated that the drm kernel module could not be built because specialreg.h is an i386 only function. I am also aware that the agp module needs drm to run. Why did I ask for help? The PowerMac G4 Quicksilver has an agp graphics slot. I also know that OpenFirmware is related to OpenBoot. If the default graphics slot can be switched with OpenBoot, then why not with Open Firmware. The item I do not have is the diagnostic tool. If the drm module cannot be built for the machine in question, then what is the proper forth command for choosing a PCI slot over the agp one without frying the logic board. In the event that my request seems to be spam: 1) Whoever has the same machine can install the PowerPC snapshot 9.0 from Nathan Whitehorn's site. The proper howto is at the FreeBSD forums. 2) Try building the module from the 9.0 sources. The card is a radeon 200.
