Hi folks, Recently I decided to take a try with the Radeon KMS support so I updated one of my FreeBSD-running netbooks (Asus Eee PC 1015B) to 10.0-BETA1 and built all the X.Org ports with WITH_NEW_XORG (and WITH_GALLIUM) enabled. Executive summary: it works, thank you, guys, great stuff! Keep up this excellent work :-) Although I have not tried all the possible applications, I mostly run Wine (and played "Papers, Please"), glxgears, played videos using mplayer but without VDPAU, and watched YouTube and other videos from the web via the Chromium + (Linux) Flash combo -- so feel free to hint me what else to test. In details: see the logs [1]. Note that the card did not work at first try as the driver did not seem to detect the hardware automatically (as it is an IGP). I contacted Jean-S=E9bastien on IRC and he told me to add the "hw.pci.default_vgapci_unit=3D0" line to loader.conf(5). I also had to preload the drm2 kernel module manually, as the the radeonkms driver does not seem to pull it in automatically. [1] http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/paste/radeonkms/
