Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi -Multimedia, I'm running a FreeBSD 4.3-S system with a ATI Rage Pro graphics card (AGP 2x) and X3.3.6. I built Utah-GLX (out of cvs) for it. It would not compile with the linux hardware AGP support (of course), but there was a link to a source tarball which would build a kernel module that implements the agpgart driver for FreeBSD 3.x. It fails on compile on my 4.3-S system. The GLX hardware acceleration works, but it's performance is unsatisfactory without the AGP acceleration, and this is to be expected as this point was made clear on the utah-glx page (http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net). Interestingly, there exists a /dev/agpgart device, but the testgart program included with the agpgart driver off the utah-glx website (http://) tries to open() it unsuccessfully - it returns 'Device not configured' (yes I have agp.ko loaded). Anybody run into similar problems? Any suggestions guys? Thanks. -- farooq P.S. Yes I know utah-glx is considered old but the DRI stuff in X4 does not grok Mach64-based cards (yet).
