I've made an ugly hack to i915.ko (FreeBSD kernel module) to return its name as "i830" and version as "1.3.0" to be recognized by Xorg server. It now seems to find it and attach, but direct rendering still disabled, and the following message gets spitted in dmesg: error: [drm:pid48509:i915_unlock] *ERROR* Process 48509 using kernel context 0 Any ideas? ./danfe ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
