Before the 6.9 ports upgrade, there were some changes in the /src/sys/dev/drm code about mid-December 2005. I had DRI working with my X300 before then (9100 IGP, onboard; mobo only has one expansion slot which is vanilla PCI so it's my only graphics option), but after rebuilding system & kernel+modules, it stopped working again. -- Albert Vest, al vest at earth link dot net
