Argh! Forgot all about the irq's.. Never thought my NCR SCSI card would steal irq11.. The permissions were set correctly (in the /etc/X11/XF86Config, if that's what you mean). Now that the mga module doesn't confuse the G400 with my NCR card anymore, it is recognized correctly: -- (dmesg output) drm0: <Matrox MGA G400 AGP graphics accelerator> mem 0xdf000000-0xdf7fffff,0xdf8 00000-0xdf803fff,0xe6000000-0xe7ffffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1 info: [drm] AGP at 0xe0000000 64MB info: [drm] Initialized mga 1.0.0 19991213 on minor 0 -- (end output) sysctl also gives the dri output and /var/log/XFree86.0.log doesn't give any drm errors anymore! X did work correctly without DRI, but OpenGL accelleration only occurs when DRI is being used in XF4.0.1 .. Anyway, Xlockmore works smoothly accellerated (geez, I'm impressed by the speed!), but Blender still doesn't run correctly.. I'll report this to the Blender crew soon; I'm fairly certain this isn't an XFree or FreeBSD problem.. Anyway; thanks for all your time patiently answering my posts and getting things working! I've got one question though; where did you come across all this information? Are you a developer or are there really some docs on how to get this working under FreeBSD..?
