Starting from a fresh install of 6.1-RELEASE on a machine with an ATI Radeon X800 All-in-Wonder, I built a new kernel and then installed modular Xorg based on the instructions at http://wikitest.freebsd.org/ModularXorg. I left out the steps for deleting/uninstalling packages because I didn't have any X distribution installed. As expected, Xorg -configure hung the display (though the machine was still up as I was able to eventually get it rebooted safely), so I used xorgconfigure to create an xorg.conf file. Everything seems to work fine with the exception that direct rendering is disabled. This same machine worked fine with Xorg 6.9 from the regular ports tree, but I was interested in modular Xorg for the possibility of limited 3D acceleration support for newer Radeons. I have since rebuilt world to 6.2-PRERELEASE as of yesterday, and direct rendering is still disabled. dmesg is reporting that agp and drm are detecting my card. Has anyone successfully gotten this combination working with DRI? If so, what tricks did you use? A collection of relevant configuration and other files is available at http://ijw.homeunix.net/~isaac/conf/ Thank you, Isaac
