E.g. cd /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati make patch Edit one of the source files in work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src. It might be something as simple as your chipset revision not being listed in the header: <<>> /usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati 1034 # grep -i x1900 work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/* work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_7243, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_7245, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_7246, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_7247, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_7248, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_7249, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_724A, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_724B, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_724C, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_724D, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_724F, "ATI Radeon X1900" }, work/xf86-video-ati-7.5.0/src/radeon_chipset_gen.h: { PCI_CHIP_R580_7284, "ATI Mobility Radeon X1900" }, This is just a guess based on past experience with driver issues. Since very few BSD/Linux users have this card, it's possible that a simple fix like this was never attempted.
