By the way, I've got a Matrox G400 (32MB, 300MHz). I had read some material in
the archives a while ago, and indeed the recipe outlined above makes those steps
automatic :-)

I would like to add a couple of remarks.

1) Under -CURRENT, DRI no longer works. The modules are not built at all. I seem
to understand that DRI is incompatible with SMP stuff (some old syscalls are no
longer present).

2) Under FreeBSD-4.3RC, sources as of April 12 (approximately) midnight,
kldloading agp and then mga makes the kernel complain about the loading order
(which is actually correct); subsequently launching KDE2 just causes the system
to reboot.

OTOH, if the modules are loaded **at boot time**, the kernel recognizes my card
and everything appears to work correctly (at 16bpp, though).

YMMV
