I hate to recommend the blob, but if it works for you then at least you can run FreeBSD with full drm support. I don't have a lot of blob experience, so I'll defer to the forums/others on that... BTW, I think the max window size that is limiting your config would not change with DRI, nor would rotation. I could be wrong there, I've never tried a radeon with no dri before. This is another vote for a different card...I know on intel cards at least this value was not changeable, DRI or otherwise. So a little googling does show this issue appearing on Linux when UMS is enabled for some users. "rv710 startx" yields most of them...most recommend turning on KMS to resolve. It's quite possible this is a bug that is only UMS related (as it seems to be around mode setup time) and is henceforth ignored upstream. If you're interested in getting *this* card to work, it might be time to dig in the sources. Since it works without DRI enabled, it's probably not edid or connector table or pll...I missed that. I have another radeon at home that might be rv710, I can try and see if the problem is still evident on CURRENT + NEW_XORG. Matt
