Just for clarification, AIGLX is broken on the radeon drivers on freebsd. It
does work fine on linux at the moment. Last time I asked around on this list
about the status of AIGLX, I had the very distinct sense that there is no one
actively working on this problem.
Just so you know, I took another look at your Xorg log file this morning and
see that you have another problem as well:
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] drmSetBusid failed (8, pci:0000:01:00.0), Permission
denied
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
This error shows up in Google a bit, but I'm not seeing one simple solution.
Do you have a DRI section in your xorg.conf file? In mine, I have:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
That will give everyone access to direct rendering.
Did you build the DRM modules from outside of the FreeBSD source tree (ie.
from the DRM git tree)? Some people mention getting the Permission denied
error (on linux) when the DRM modules were compiled with a different version
of gcc than the kernel).
