The WITH_MATROX_GXX_DRIVER option installs that mga_hal binary from Matrox and uses Matrox's source for the 2d driver. At some point I may break the binary driver off into its own port which just installs the mga_hal and we wouldn't use Matrox's 2d source at all. XFree86 from ports is a significant download, but since it includes security updates I highly recommend it. As far as DRI, you should be able to get it working by following the instructions at the link in the .sig. DRI shouldn't be needed for anything but hw-accel 3d. I could be wrong, though, I don't know too much about the Matrox situation. -- Eric Anholt <eta@lclark.edu> http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
