Hi,

I checked dmesg, and I found that my graphic card is not on AGP but PCI:

pci1: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)

and also i found another:

vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0

It makes me confusing... why it said my graphic card on ISA0? I think the
vga0 is used for  the default console output, isn't it?

I attach 3 files (scanpci, dmesg and my kernel configure file) to you. I
found that there're some  ATI devices could not to load drivers, I think my
main board is using the ATI chipset.

I have compiled drm into kernel but I still can not found any information
about DRM in dmesg as you said, I don't know why it doesn't work on my
machine. Is drm works for your machine?

p.s. fglrx is for Linux but not for FreeBSD, someont port the fglrx to
FreeBSD is out date, the new fglrx  supported my x1300 card but not for
FreeBSD.

Thanks for your kindly help.

B.Rgds.

Janvier Pang
