I stopped getting the mga_hal error, but I'm still getting a mga(0): [drm] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI error message when I startx. Fxtv still crashes without -disableDirectV which is pretty disappointing. I'd like it if the port was broken off. I already had the matrox driver src tgz downloaded I just didn't know I could use it. It would be nice if I didn't have to compile all of X. Corey Holcomb-Hockin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
