Folks, I'm trying to port the Linux i810 Direct Rendering Interface ( DRI ) kernel module to FreeBSD. I have reached the point where the thing compiles, and I can load it as a kernel module, but it can't find the graphics device. Through a process of elimination I have come to the conclusion that once the AGP kernel module probes and attaches to the i810 graphics device, nothing else can attach to it. When I read the section on PCI devices it implied ( to me at least ) that multiple kernel modules should be able to attach to the same device. I have tried to get it to work without any success. Has anyone else out there tried anything similar? If so, did you manage to get it to work? Does anyone have any suggestions for other things that I can try? Thanks in advance...Geoff BTW: I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE on a Pentium 3. -- Geoff Glasson glastech@iinet.net.au
