I'm using DRI fine on |4.2-R with a Matrox G200. It's also important to verify that agpgart supports your motherboard's northbridge chipset. Case in point: I upgraded my system last summer and have a Matrox G450 AGP but have never gotten H/W acceleration going here because no one had added support for my AMD761 northbridge to the agpgart drivers. ...Re-researching just now, I see somebody added it to -current a few weeks ago (hurray!), but I run -stable and I don't know if this has been MFCed yet. Maybe my wait is over!? At any rate, I recommend you check first. Good luck!
