I have changed nothing else on > my system except to rebuild the kernel & world. When I boot my I tried the Wolfenstein test demo on 4.4-RELEASE with OpenGL/G400. Except that it was totally unplayable on the machine (500 MHz K6-2) I tried, it ran OK. I'll try some other (less CPU demanding) OpenGL Linux games on this machine when I find the time. I'd really like to try it on my new machine (Athlon 1.4 GHz) but there seems to be no FreeBSD AGP-GART support for the AMD-760 chipset, so consequently DRI doesn't work for the G400. (I'm very happy though with my ancient Voodoo2 card in this machine as it doesn't need any DRI - it uses Glide instead, and most games including the Wolfenstein test demo appear to work fine with Glide.) Are you sure that you also updated your modules? > On an unrelated subject, I still cannot get either of these programs > to utilize the sound card under any kernel after 4.2, I believe there > is an open PR for this... > I don't know about a PR, but this problem exists since the pcm mega commit around February 2nd. Versions after this date make my Quake3 silent. There is some error message when starting Quake3, but I can't remember the exact contents now. Concerning other games (at least on my hardware): Unreal Tournament: sound OK at the moment (had sound lag in the past). Soldier of Fortune: sound OK with version 1.04, sound lag with v1.06 Rune: sound lag Wolfenstein test: no sound with FreeBSD 4.4, but works OK with 4.2. I worked around by purchasing the OSS sound driver; SoF and Rune now both have correct sound. Unfortunately, OSS does not work with UT and neither with Quake3, so I keep rebooting (unloading and loading the OSS driver after boot time is like Russian roulette: the machine sometimes hangs up) Karel.
