Everything looks very nice now, agp0, drm0 in dmesg and the XFree86 logfile seems OK as well. (on http://wop21.wop.wtb.tue.nl/freebsd/hwaccel.txt I've put a quick & (very) dirty list of what I've done to make it work, so it'll be easier for me to repeat everything ;-) However, when I want to try the direct rendering with glclock, I'm getting a black window without anything in there :-(. The screen is blocked, but a remote login shows that glclock is in the state 'mgafg', according to top. It can be killed easily and the machine is accesible again through the keyboard. I have the exact same problem with G200/8 MB and G400/32 MB, although the G200 has to use much lower resolution in order to have enough memory left for dri. Both at 16bpp. Any idea what could be wrong? Would it make sense to cvs DRI sources? I have those that are included with the standard XFree86-4 in the ports, they seem to be a little dated (2000-05 or so). Also, I have my PC quite filled up, with two Voodoo2 boards, still working fine with linux glide (so completely bypassing DRI). No sharing of IRQ's with the video card though. Thanks anyway for the () wrapping tip! Karel. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
