Hi, > a recent cvs update from the head branch of the dri developement cvs tree > works here on my particualr G400.

After I edited the drmP.h file to make it include sys/taskqueue.h (I changed the version numbers in the lines `#if __FreeBSD_version >= 50000x' to `#if __FreeBSD_version >= 400000'), the drm/mga package compiled just fine but still it wouldn't load correctly (the /var/log/XFree86.0.log said `(EE) MGA(0): [drm] DRIScreenInit Failed'). The sources wouldn't have compiled without the taskqueue stuff and I guess the version number checks in drmP.h exist for a reason (or aren't they). > Also, the utah-glx stuff (for XFree86 3.3.6?) is known to work under > freebsd. Check http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/ and > http://www.freebsd.org/~3d. I used to use XFree86 3.3.6 with the utah-glx package and every Mesa demo package worked nicely (with accelleration). The problem is a 3D animation package named Blender (see http://www.blender.nl). It has some really weird quirks but I haven't met anyone with the same problems.. I would check out the Blender sources if they would be available, but unfortunately only the binaries are free; the sources are not for download. The main reason to have upgraded to XF4.0.1 was to check if the Blender problems would persist. Everything else works perfectly under XF4.0.1 (except all accellerated OpenGL stuff because DRI/drm/mga isn't working until now). I suspect the Blender code to be the problem in the first place as Mesa's OpenGL demos all worked perfectly, but when I tried XF4.0.1 with dri, the problems described in this thread surfaced.
