I haven't done it on FreeBSD yet, but I've done it on a couple Linux distros. Aside from the glx module already suggestion, you may also need to load the dri and vbe modules. This option in your Device section is also important. Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" If you're running an nvidia card, you also need to make sure you have the latest development drivers for your card. I'm running 1.0.9755 on my machine, but I believe I had aixgl working on the 1.0.9746 version that's in the ports collection. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFGd9y1NTm8fWdRgmIRAt3XAKDi0J/d1dejk3DI74Ch+k0opbGpyQCdGKYR e2vNMWVsUYP+nfnO7HC+azQ= =dj/F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
