Hi folks,

I'm trying to get DRI running on my Dell C600 laptop.

I've followed the instructions from:

http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/index.html

apart from I used the pre-built binaries from the
XFree website rather than a the port to get XFree4.2

Now at boot I get the following messages:

drm0: <ATI Rage 128 Mobility LF (AGP) port
0xec00-0xecff mem 0xfdffc000-0xfdffffff,
0xf8000000-0xfbffffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci 1

[drm] AGP at 0xf4000000 64MB

[drm] Initialized r128 2.2.0 20010405 on minor 0

So I'm guessing the drm-kmod is loading OK,

But when I startx and look at the log I find the
following line:

(II) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled

I've tried setting my environment variable:
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose
but I don't seem to get any more info on startx.

HELP!!!

I'm running FBSD4.4 and am stuck behind a firewall so
cvsup and portupdates don't work :-(, hence the use of
the XFree binaries instead of the port.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Gavin

BTW: Has anyone got the sound running on the Dell
C600? I've followed the handbook and done some
googling but never get a peep out.
