Maybe also try PCI 1:0:1 I had the same error with a different card and this helped. Actually, the problem here (as I just replied in a private email) was that that card is newer than 4.2.99.12's radeon support, so it didn't probe the radeon. Solution I suggested was to try chipid 0x4e48 because his is 0x4e49, which is the same generation of chip. -- Eric Anholt[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD-Current and XFree86
I'm having problems with XFree86 that result from the fact that the ATI Radeon 9800 is not supported by the current 4.3.0 radeon driver. I would like to upgrade to current/cvs version of XFree86, 4.3.99 since the next release isn't going to be for around another 2 months. My question is, what is the most flawless way to do this? Is there a FreeBSD concentric repository, or should I just get the sources from the standard XFree86 cvs repository? Is there a place where I can instead get frequently updated ports of the repository? Building from source is there any configure switches that I need to successfully build? Last but not least is it possible to build only the radeon drivers and use those in 4.3.0.. if so, how do I go about doing that? I had some problems when I only downloaded the graphics drivers module.

Maybe Eric knows better, but that's off my recolection with ATI experience. Requiring the DRI head, that or you can install the drivers from the linux distro, and just not the kernel driver for obvious reasons. I have been known from time to time to use the ATI linux modules in FreeBSD, works quite well actually. Just a thought for you to try. You'll either have it work, or maybe a hard lock or no luck. 50/50 Scott ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
