I'm a complete novice to Unix-like operating systems and trying to make 2d-accleration work for my Radeon 9600 & P4P800 board on FreeBSD 7.0-Release. Since my eyes can't stand tearing, I was thinking about switching to Linux... I don't know if this will help, but I also had some arifacts(though quite different from yours) and I somehow managed to remove them by setting the right horizontal&vertial refresh rates values for my monitor in xorgconfig tool, at least for 1024x768 mode. I didn't have to manually add or remove any kernel modules in xorg.conf or /boot/loader.conf. Unfortunately, the open-source generic radeon driver doesn't seem to support 2d-accleration... Since X700 is in R400 family, and radeonhd driver is supposed to only work with R500 and newer chipsets, This would probably be your case, too. (But tearing is just bearly noticeable in mplayer... this is strange, maybe because of double-buffering?) But my version of Xorg is a bit out of date, so things could be different with the latest version. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Working-fglrx-driver-on-FreeBSD-7-tp17004197p19885135.html Sent from the freebsd-x11 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
