Hello guys, I did not wanted to switch to KMS and new X.org but it is required to use KDE 4.12. My card works fine (with accelerated 3d) in UMS mode. So I gave a try because the Graphics wiki page says good news. However, for me (on 10.0-RELEASE-p1) it is not good news at all. First, there is no 3d accelerated, glx info says rendering is software rasterizer. Second, when I start X, sometimes it works fine, sometimes I get random color garbage. Switching to TTY and get back to X will cause a hang occasionally. I would like to know how can I fully disable KMS since my card does not require it and go back to standard UMS, because I don't want to go away from KDE :-). I've tried setting hw.dri.0.modesetting=0 in the loader.conf but it seems read-only. Kind regards (sorry to tell you that it was a bad experience :-() David.
