Hmm, a -CURRENT slice of mine (Yup, I'm multibooting FreeBSD OSes, inter alia) -- sources as of Mar 28, 2001 -- doesn't build DRI related modules.

Exactly. If (and only if) I load agp **at boot time** (ie by editing /boot/loader.conf), I can subsequently load/unload mga seamlessly. Needless to say, in this case, the related console messages are much like the ones displayed when agp and mga are **both** loaded at boot time (cf my previous message). If I kldload agp and *subsequently* mga, however, the system complains about the module loading order. But the order IS correct. In this case, trying to launch KDE2 just results in a reboot. In this situation (kldload agp, then mga), if I try kldunloading drm (a module loaded in turn by mga), I get a panic. Ok, that's just to complete the picture; it is probably not exactly sound to do that :-) I don't know whether all this is expexted behavio(u)r. -- Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
