Hello,
I recently got someone's spare ATI X1950XTX graphics card for free,
and considered to have it replace my nvidia Quadro. Not knowing much
about hardware and 3D acceleration and stuff, I searched the internet
for a bit and found out that the ATI Radeon KMS drivers are supposed
to be in FreeBSD 10, and took that as good news to indeed try it out.
Unfortunately, that was not very successful. While it did not break
everything (The system does still boot) I don't get X configured with
this new configuration, because `X -configure` fails with a segfault
(see below).
This is still the case also after rebuilding the base system and all
my packages from source while having
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
WITH_KMS=yes
in my /etc/make.conf.
Is there a likely way to debug this problem (Changing some other
options and rebuilding some software? configuring X by
hand/xorgcfg/xorgconfig/stuff like that?) and get this to work, or am
I better off putting my nvidia card back in and foregoing hardware 3d
acceleration?
