Supposedly the mga_hal_drv and mga_drv from Matrox was only supposed to work on 4.0.x, and 4.1.x was stuck using the built in (non dualhead) drivers that ship with XFree. Have you been able to get the 3D acceleration to work with 4.1.0? I'm not planning on upgrading until the hardware 3D bits work. The easiest way to test is to pull up tuxracer. If the game is playable then the 3D bits are working. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
