Subject:   DRI/Rage128/-CURRENT: did anybody get it working?

I am trying to get DRI working on my system, which is running FreeBSD
5.0-CURRENT and has an ATI Rage 128 Pro video adapter. Unfortunately, the
machine reboots inmediately after firing up the DRI-enabled Xserver (if I
comment out "Load dri" in /etc/XF86Config, it works fine).

I built and installed XFree86-CVS (4.1.99.4, including the kernel
modules). Boom. I also built and installed DRI-CVS (4.1.99.1 DRI
bsd-2-0-0, with the kernel modules). Boom again.

My PC is based on the VIA KT133 chipset (CPU is an AMD Duron). I tried AGP
1x, 2x and 4x to no avail.

A friend of mine, who owns a similarly configured PC (KT133, Rage128,
_but_ FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE), got DRI working after installing the XFree86-4
port (XFree86-4.1.0_11, IIRC) and the drm-kmod port. I did the same thing
to no avail, so I think that there is some issue with FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT
and the drm kernel modules (or, at least, the r128.ko module).

I am willing to hear from anyone using a similar hardware configuration
and a DRI-enabled XFree86 running OK on FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT.
