I have ported the nouveau drm driver. http://people.freebsd.org/~rnoland/drm-nouveau-043009.patch It is working on NV50 cards, NV40 was working, but with WITNESS enabled I seem to be getting a panic on NV40. My NV40 card seems to be having memory issues so I haven't been able to get and/or see the backtrace. I think it is just a locking issue which should be pretty easily solved if I can get a clear backtrace. You will need current libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau from ports. This won't get you 3d right now, but should get you EXA + Xv. robert. > Thx in advance >=20 > matthias --=20 Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD --=-/MGbhDqCNVtlOmgASu1X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkoET4kACgkQM4TrQ4qfROPexACcC3rFSNW0pw/X5whWgraMrvDA wXwAoIoR20hoaepPUyUzFUfwEUDZ82PJ =tHbM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-/MGbhDqCNVtlOmgASu1X--
