Your video hardware is identical to mine, and it is working now after some effort on my part. Start here: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11870 Apply the patch into /usr/src/sys/dev/drm and then rebuild and reinstall your drm kernel modules. This should allow Xorg to work with your rv350 and have AIGLX support. You will probably then end up in a situation where the new radeon_drv.so breaks your GLX support. I downloaded the latest xf86-video-ati driver from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/ and built/installed it over the top of the one that is gotten from /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati. -- Coleman Kane
