Acceleration requires KMS on HD5xxx GPUs and higher, and that includes the fusion APUs. On a somewhat related note... I heard that the work the FreeBSD Foundation and iXsystems is paying for in regards to KMS (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2011-February/001361.html) is limited to Intel GPUs. Can someone please confirm or deny that depressing bit of information? Adam
