The SUBDIR line in this file specifies in which subdirectories sources should be built. XFree's standard is: SUBDIR = drm tdfx gamma Now, we want G400 accel, not whatever tdfx might be! So change it to: SUBDIR = drm mga gamma 'Kay. Not quite ready yet. Upon compilation, some files in the mga subdir (i.e. mga/mga_dma.c ) will not compile. This is due to some version checks in drmP.h which are not properly set (haven't submitted a bug to the dri team yet though). The following patch will correct it (just search through the drmP.h file and erase any version number checks for versions bigger than 500005): -- patch drmP.h 52c52,54 < #if __FreeBSD_version >= 500005 --- > /* #if __FreeBSD_version >= 500005 > #include > #endif */ 54d55 < #endif 56c57,59 < #if __FreeBSD_version >= 500006 --- > /* #if __FreeBSD_version >= 500006 > #define DRM_AGP > #endif */ 58d60 < #endif 520c522,524 < #if __FreeBSD_version >= 500005 --- > /* #if __FreeBSD_version >= 500005 > struct task task; > #endif */ 522d525 < #endif -- end patch Now everything should compile nicely. * Copy the kernel modules to /modules (these are: mga/mga.ko ; drm/drm.ko and gamma/gamma.ko although I don't know if gamma.ko is needed) * Edit /boot/loader.rc and add the lines: load agp load mga So that upon reboot, the new kernel modules are automatically loaded * Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config: In the section "Module" add (if not already): Load "glx" Load "dri" And create a new section outside the "Module" section: Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection But be advised that this will allow all users on the system to use dri. See the XFree docs for more info on changing the XF86Config file. * reboot, and you'll find some extra lines in your dmesg: Preloaded elf module "agp.ko" at 0xc03390ec. Preloaded elf module "mga.ko" at 0xc0339188. Preloaded elf module "drm.ko" at 0xc0339224.

My NCR SCSI card also used irq11 and caused things to refuse working. Hope this is any help. Quite some credit should go to joeo@cracktown.com for this info..
