The r300 project (http://r300.sourceforge.net) is getting tantalizingly close to usable DRI for newer radeons. I saw glxgears running at 2600+ fps for about 15 seconds before the 3D engine on my 9800 Pro locked up. I finally got tired of manually merging Mesa commits and translating linux drm changes to bsd so I'm no longer using it. If you're interested, here's the basic instructions: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2005-May/001903.html Note that it requires a decent amount of effort just to get it to compile, much less do anything useful.
