There is a working i830 DRM driver for Linux in the old dri cvs in the drm subdirectory. DRM is still using the old DRI tree CVS. Try current DRM CVS and see if it will build the i830 driver for BSD. I don't run BSD so I can't check. It might now be too much work to port the Linux one over to BSD in the DRM tree. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co drm --- Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@nsu.ru> wrote: > Hi there, > > Judging from /sys/dev/drm/ contents, and listed kernel options in > NOTES, > there's currently evidence of support for i810/830 chips in FreeBSD, > which (I suspect) is the probable reason why DRI is not enabled on my > box (FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT from yesterday, latest X.Org).
