I am running 7.2-stable : [beni@bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ uname -v FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #3: Mon Oct 5 10:30:23 EDT 2009 kris@pcbsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PCBSD.i386 [beni@bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ I loaded both the drm and radeon modules via /boot/loader.conf (drm_load="YES" and radeon_load="YES") and both modules get now loaded at boot time : [beni@bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ kldstat -v | grep drm 5 2 0xc0f54000 173c0 drm.ko [beni@bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ kldstat -v | grep radeon 6 1 0xc0f6c000 609c0 radeon.ko 5 vgapci/radeon [beni@bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ But still nothing with the xserver... I changed the driver in xorg.conf Device Section to radeon and radeonhd, but all i get is : [beni@bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ tail /var/log/messages Jan 2 16:00:23 bsdaddict kdm-bin[6995]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled Jan 2 16:00:25 bsdaddict kdm-bin[7015]: X server died during startup Jan 2 16:00:25 bsdaddict kdm-bin[7015]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled Jan 2 16:00:27 bsdaddict kdm-bin[7035]: X server died during startup Jan 2 16:00:27 bsdaddict kdm-bin[7035]: X server for display :0 cannot be started, session disabled Jan 2 16:00:27 bsdaddict init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs But you use the xf86-video-ati driver and not the xf86-video-radeonhd driver ? -- Beni.
