Thanks! There is no open-source DRI driver for the r300 (9500+) series cards, which is why the X Server doesn't try to enable DRI. r300.sf.net is a project to work on that, but they aren't to the point of accelerating anything yet afaik -- just REing. (also, 6.8.1 is the latest X.Org release) -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
