Hi, I have new information. I said in an earlier message that when I disabled dri and dri2, things worked well - when issuing a xinit command. It does, only when I get back in console mode, there is an error (which occured when xinit was called): (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed (libdri too old) I had removed X, deleted my ports tree, rebuilt it using portsnap and then re-installed X. What needs to be updated now if my library is "too old"? Thanks. 2009/12/30 Robert Noland <rnoland@freebsd.org> > On Wed, 2009-12-30 at 14:43 -0500, Fran=E7ois Leclerc wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I saw that someone already posted something similar.
