But, there is a problem: sysctl -a or sysctl hw, or any other sysctl command which reads and displays the hw.dri variables causes a fatal kernel panic when its reading the tables of information about the driver. I don't suggest you try this unless of course you dont mind your system having a fatal kernel trap and rebooting. Anybody else experience this? BTW, how is it possible to capture the fatal kernel trap message that appears, that would be of much more helpful as a debugging aid.. -- farooq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
