http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ati.2.php The binary drivers do not work, presumably because they were compiled with gcc-2.95.2? I think the modules for X (not the kernel modules) are supposed to be portable between platforms (i.e. Linux and FreeBSD). However, you can CVS source and try to build from there, but I have had no luck as I have not been able to login: [veldy@fuggle ati]$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gatos login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/gatos CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) I have the drivers working great under Linux using Gentoo ... but I would like my workstation to be FreeBSD for the obvious reason ... but I need accellerated OpenGL support.
