One guy was telling me that glx worked for his G400 under XFree86 3.3.5 - here a snippet: > I now have XFree86 3.3.5, using all 32MB of my Matrox G400 card's RAM, > with GLX extensions (working - lots of debug output from glx.so in my > xdm-errors file...) *and* TrueType font support... :-) Maybe he can give a hint?

First: I can't decide from your mail if you see any 3d acceleration at all, or if it worked with an older version. Did you have any success at all? Second: Were you using the latest glx port? (glx-990914.shar.bz2) from http://www.freebsd.org/~3d/distfiles/glx/XF3.3.5 It should work with XF86_SVGA from XFree86 3.3.4 and 3.3.5 Required is deinstalling Mesa-3.0 and glx (if they were installed). If you like, you could nuke XFree86 as well. The port will start a build, if it finds none. For comparison I put up the logs of my build of XFree86 3.3.5 and glx on the above mentioned web page. I also mailed one the main glx developers if can remember trouble with G400, because there is a possibility that my snapshot is from an too early G400 development stage.
