Can somebody please comment on whether what I'm doing seems correct. Thanks HP Compaq 6715s laptop FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #9 r238259M amd64 vgapci0@pci0:1:5:0: class=0x030000 card=0x30c2103c chip=0x791f1002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' device = 'RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]' class = display subclass = VGA which, according to radeon(4x), is supported by radeon driver. I've got in the kernel, amongst other things,: device agp device drm device radeondrm device vga I then see in dmesg: $ dmesg | grep vga vgapci0: port 0x4000-0x40ff mem 0xc0100000-0xc80fffff,0 xd0200000-0xd020ffff,0xd0300000-0xd03fffff irq 19 at device 5.0 on pci1 vga0: at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 $ dmesg | grep -i agp $ dmesg | grep -i radeon Is this expected that there's nothing related to either agp on radeon in dmesg? Anyway, if I do X auto-configure, i.e. X -configure, I get in the resulting xorg.conf.new: Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI" BoardName "RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]" BusID "PCI:1:5:0" Is that correct? I then see in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 Failed to change owner or group for file /dev/dri! 2: No such file or directory Failed to change owner or group for file /dev/dri/card0! 2: No such file or dire ctory drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory) Failed to change owner or group for file /dev/dri/card0! 2: No such file or dire ctory drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [drm] failed to load kernel module "radeon" (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM [dri] Disabling DRI. I guess this is not good, right?
