Keeping this brief, I'm a lazy sod, and it's fairly obvious the 4.3.0 integration is in flux. I've got a G200: drm0: <Matrox G200 (AGP)> mem 0xf7800000-0xf7ffffff,0xf77fc000-0xf77fffff,0xf6000000-0xf6ffffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1 On: FreeBSD mustelid.gateway.2wire.net 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Feb 8 22:13:06 EST 2003 floid@mustelid.gateway.2wire.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MUSTELID i386 Under previous versions of XFree86 4, I've built /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server with -DWITH_MATROX_GXX_DRIVER and all has been well. [It was never well without the Matrox code; I'm honestly not sure if that's supposed to be the case.] With 4.3.0, I've not seen the usual reminder about the driver, and blindly specifying WITH_MATROX_GXX_DRIVER (without bothering to pore over the build output; see previous comment on 'lazy') doesn't do the trick: (II) Loading sub module "mga_hal" (II) LoadModule: "mga_hal" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module mga_hal (II) UnloadModule: "mga_hal" (EE) MGA: Failed to load module "mga_hal" (module does not exist, 0) Annoyingly, this means GL apps lock my system, or more specifically for those tracking such things, they manage to mung something that kills the keyboard to the point of inoperative num/scroll/caps LEDs, while leaving the USB mouse (and the rest of the system) mostly operative. atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x64,0x60 on isa0 atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbd0 at atkbd0 ums0: Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM), rev 1.10/3.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1 -- So after all that blather, all I want to know is: A. Is mga_hal [deprecated|not yet available|broken], or do I just need to stop being stupid? B. If the last, where should I be looking to start not being stupid? -Thanks, (Doubleplusthanks to all who've brought 5.0 to -RELEASE, of course!) -Joe "Floid" Kanowitz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
