In my case, this is exactly the other way around. There was atime when radeonhd and radeon both worked with radeon boards, even with DRI set to on. I recall the the time, whe radeonhd was ugraded to semthing like 1.2.8 or so the problems started occuring (in my case) There is also an issue with SMP. On my private UP box I used a radeon HD4830, both with radeonhd and radeon (tend to use radeonhd because it was faster). Since this box got an hardware exchange (same FBSD 8.1 but with SMP kernel due to dual core, 4GB RAM etc.), both driver, radeon and radeonhd crashes when leaving a X11 session or sending a 'killall -HUP X'. The box simply freezes. My lab's box has now a HD4770 board. The box is also FreeBSD 8.1, SMP kernel, 8GB RAM. No matter what radeon driver, enabling DRI results in a immediate crash of the box when X comes up. Leaving a X11 session also results in a freeze (my crashes are always freezes, there is no coredump, just a black screen).The same happens with a HD4670 board. More interesting is the usage of DBUS and HALD. With both enabled, the box dies immediately when X comes up. No matter whether radeon or radeonhd is used. Well, without X, dbus and hald work well. with X. ... Regards, Oliver
