Chris, In order to get DRI working you need to load a kernel module prior to starting X. Eric Anholt plus others have done a bucklet of work to get DRI for various cards working on FreeBSD. This is the main ( I think ) DRI website at http://dri.sourceforge.net. Eric's website is at http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ although it is a little out of date now. The troubleshooting section might be of some use though. I know for a fact ( as late as October 2004 ) that DRI for the Intel i810/i815 chipset on FreeBSD as I have a system based on the i815. However, I also know that work was progressing on the later chipsets. I'm not sure of the progress as I took the easy way out and installed a Radeon based graphics card that was known to work ;) Hope this helps...Geoff On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 03:58 am, freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org wrote: > Message: 7 > Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 19:07:35 +0000 > From: Chris Hodgins <chodgins@cis.strath.ac.uk> > Subject: DRI support for Intel i810 > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Message-ID: <41F698F7.6050004@cis.strath.ac.uk> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Hi, > > I am trying to get DRI to work with X.org on my 5.3-RELEASE system.
