Most GPU lockups on Radeon occur because Mesa 9.1 is way too old and doesn't work well at all for these cards. Mesa 10.x behaves *much* better= =2E Unfortunately, we can't use Mesa 10.x on FreeBSD 9.x and FreeBSD 10.0, because the Intel driver lacks a required feature [1]. This kind of impossible situations happens because our time is limited. That's why we need to drop the old stack and spend the saved time to move forward. If you're willing to try Mesa 10.3.0, it's available from the "experimental" branch of our development ports tree: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Development_repository =46rom this branch, build: o graphics/libdrm o graphics/libglapi o graphics/libGL o graphics/dri o graphics/libEGL (if you have it installed) o graphics/libglesv2 (if you have it installed) > Is it possible to build new xorg without kms and with old radeon > driver? Yes, in the case of Radeon, you can use xf86-video-ati-ums (in place of xf86-video-ati) with xserver 1.12. There's no need to rebuild xserver.
