HTH - TTFN Thanks for trying out this on BSD. Please note the driver is not accelerated for this platform. I also know the BSD is working on a port of KMS so it should be possible to support acceleration in the future. _______________________________________________ Openchrome-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openchrome-users Main page: http://www.openchrome.org Wiki: http://www.openchrome.org/trac/wiki/TOC
