Hi Guys,

I cant really tell whether this is an X11 problem or a problem with the 
i915 kernel module.

Heres some info from my dmesg:

[root@laptop ~]# dmesg |grep agp
agp0: <Intel 82855GME (855GME GMCH) SVGA controller> on vgapci0
agp0: detected 892k stolen memory
agp0: aperture size is 128M

[root@laptop ~]# dmesg |grep drm
drm0: <Intel i852GM/i855GM GMCH> on vgapci0
info: [drm] AGP at 0xf0000000 128MB
info: [drm] Initialized i915 1.5.0 20060119
drm1: <Intel i852GM/i855GM GMCH> on vgapci1
info: [drm] AGP at 0xf0000000 128MB
info: [drm] Initialized i915 1.5.0 20060119

I notice this recurring error message in the tty too.

error: [drm:pid725:i915_getparam] *ERROR* i915_getparam called with no 
initialization

I have had FreeBSD installed on this laptop before (v6) and had no 
trouble with DRI then.. So whats changed?
Should I revert from stable back to RELEASE?

Googling for this error has returned useless results. My questions:

a) Is this a problem with the kernel level drm driver or a problem with X?
b) Any suggestions on a fix/workaround/patch?
c) If I am sending this to the wrong place, please educate me as to 
where I should instead be asking.

Thanks in advance.
Alex.
