I have a Radeon 7500 video card and I want to be able to do direct rendering with XFree86 4.2. Unfortunately, the ServerWorks chipset doesn't appear to be supported in modules/agp.ko. So, is anyone working on adding such support? I see that the ServerWorks chipset is (or at least appears to be) supported in the Linux AGP code; if necessary I can extract the necessary information from that code to write a driver for FreeBSD, but it would be nice if someone had already done the work, since my time is more than full enough already. :-) Here's hoping . . . -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
