To those of you running the radeon.ko dri module from the ports (ports/graphics/dri-devel) IF YOU'RE RUNNING CURRENT then you might want to listen up.
I just did a rebuild of the system for the first time in about 6 days, and my system rebooted immediately when XFree86 attempted loading the radeon.ko. I always rebuild and reinstall the modules when I do the kernel, but I also always take extra care to copy the ports version of radeon.ko over the one built/installed during the modules build, so I am completely certain that I was using the one from the ports. I reverified that on reboot. While I'm not totally certain it was the dri-devel, I rebuilt it again (it used the same sources as before from ports, on the new kernel sources from /usr/src/sys) and next time, used that to load. Result this time was just fine. I did check, the module binary had changed size (gotten a bit smaller). I don't know for sure if that is from a change in the compiler or a change in kernel sources (probably both). I'd previously built the dri-devel port with the gcc 3.2 compiler, it's in a new rev now. The moral is, I think you need to rebuild/reinstall dri-devel if you're running FreeBSD-current. If anyone can either show I'm wrong, or verify my experience, if you'd post your results you'd be doing everyone a favor. I won't mind being proven wrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
