I do not know if it matters but I load the agp module at boot time via the /boot/loader.conf file. The mga module gets loaded from the startup script that came with the drm-kmod port. I have had this running on FreeBSD -stable for some time now and I am currently running on 4.5-RC. My card is different from yours (older) so maybe the card is not being recognized by the module appropriately. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
