One guy was telling me that glx worked for his G400 under
XFree86 3.3.5 - here a snippet:

Maybe he can give a hint? (I bcc'ed this mail)

Your situation is a bit unclear to me.
First:
I can't decide from your mail if you see any 3d acceleration at all,
or if it worked with an older version.
Did you have any success at all?
Second:
Were you using the latest glx port? (glx-990914.shar.bz2) from
http://www.freebsd.org/~3d/distfiles/glx/XF3.3.5
It should work with XF86_SVGA from XFree86 3.3.4 and 3.3.5
Required is deinstalling Mesa-3.0 and glx (if they were installed).
If you like, you could nuke XFree86 as well.
The port will start a build, if it finds none.
For comparison I put up the logs of my build of XFree86 3.3.5 and glx
on the above mentioned web page.
I also mailed one the main glx developers if can remember trouble
with G400, because there is a possibility that my snapshot is
from an too early G400 development stage.
Regards,
Marc
