But I have lost hardware acceleration inside X. My card is a Radeon 3450 which is an RV620 card. If I boot the machine and try and kiad radeomkms.ko by hand then it just locks up the machine. No useful info on the consolue. If I try loadiing radeonkms and boot time, it then displays a lot more information when it boots about loading up drm, and then afils saying is callot load the firmware for the card. Specificly it cant load radeonkmsfw_RV620_pfp At this point booting stops and the machine is unresponsive. Now I dont particularly mind the loss of hardware acceleration, as I dont use it anyway, but I thought I should report this as a bug, as this should be a supported card and configuration. KMS is kernel related to this is the correct place I hope. The kernel is r268669 from Tuesday of this week, and the packages are the binary builds from Monday, using the pkg repository for systems runnijng the new Xorg. The machine is an AMD Phenom II 965 with 4 gig of RAM, and the motherboard is MSI K9A2 Platinum (the 7376 model). Am quite happy to try out things on this too, as its my personal workstation so doesnt disruopt anyone else when it crashes. cheers, -pete.
