To avoid possible compatibility problems, I did a clean install onto another hard drive, and later recompiled everything. Here I have a couple of annoying issues. Shell refuses to start Netscape Communicator 4.76 (for FreeBSD) saying "binary file is not executable", but it was (and is) running fine under 4.7. Since it was compiled under FreeBSD 2.2.x, I have compat22 installed (together with compat3x and compat4x). No help. Second issue comes to be about hardware-accelerated OpenGL under XFree86 4.2.0, using Matrox G400 hardware. Simply, there is no hardware acceleration at all. DRM kernel modules that come with 4.2.0 are intended for use with FreeBSD 4.x, and they don't even compile under 5.x. I built kernel with "device mgadrm" and "options DRM_LINUX", as well as "options COMPAT_LINUX". After launching glxgears system hangs up completely. Problem seems to be within libdrm. So far I have no DRI, but software OpenGL, and 162fps compared to 368fps under 4.7. --- Regards, Rhett __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
