Remove "dri" from the Modules section, and add "Option NoDDC" to the Device section. I seem to recall that the VideoRam specification in Device is either ineffective or problematic (in any event, I have commented it out in my config file). You might also want to load some font modules, or comment out the Type1 and Speedo fonts from FontPath (although the server will do that for you). I'm currently running: XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 2 June 2001 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE i386 [ELF] under FreeBSD androcles.com 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Fri Oct 26 12:04:20 PDT 2001 The relevant sections of my working XF86Config file: Section "Module" Load "extmod" Load "xie" Load "pex5" Load "glx" # Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "record" # This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "speedo" Load "bitmap" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "NoAccel" # [] #Option "SWcursor" # [] #Option "ColorKey" # #Option "CacheLines" # #Option "Dac6Bit" # [] #Option "DRI" # [] #Option "NoDDC" # [] Identifier "Intel 810" Driver "i810" VendorName "Intel" BoardName "i810-dc100" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" Option "NoDDC" # [] # VideoRam 4086 EndSection There is a FreeBSD DRI page at http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~eanholt/dri/ I bought my i810 last December, and spent several months loading various Linux distributions, looking for one I liked. By the end of July I had accumulated enough advice (essentially the above items) from these mailing lists to install freebsd (and what a relief it was). So...if the above doesn't do it, check the mail archives for anything I've missed. It's all in there. I probably don't need to remind you, but I will anyway, to compile or load the agp module, and make the device node. > > I had this working long ago during that sweet spot around XFree86 > 4.0.1 and FreeBSD-4.1, but can't get it working now with the newer > versions.
