The agp.ko module is built with the FreeBSD sources and as far as I know works fine for most motherboard chip sets. It is required for DRI but not sufficient. The other required kernel modules for DRI with a Matrox G400 are the mga.ko and the drm.ko modules. These are [optionally] built as part of XFree86. The problem is that nobody is keeping the BSD branch of the DRI source tree up to date. I think you might be able to get a better answer from one of the XFree86 lists. -- Glenn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
