RE: Intel 810 and agpgart
Dear David, You should be able to do the following as root to create the /dev/agpgart device: cd /dev sh ./MAKEDEV agpgart I'm only running FreeBSD 4.11 at the moment, so cannot confirm that this will work on 6-X. I'm assuming that you need to create devices on 6 in the same manner as 4.X - I guess I'll find out when I upgrade once 6-STABLE comes out ;) Hope this helps...Geoff -- Geoff Glasson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 89, Issue 20
Edward, I believe that this problem was discussed on the kde-freebsd mailing list. The simple answer to your problem is that there appears to be a defect in KDE that causes this to occur. I had ( what I believe to be ) the same problem as you, and when I got it running within an xterm I discovered that KDE expects the /tmp/.ICE-unix/ directory tree to be owned by root. I fix this problem using the following ( not very efficient ) method: 1. Attempt a KDE login ( which will create all the .ICE-unix directories before failing ) 2. Login as root using the failsafe session and issue the command chown -R root /tmp/.ICE-unix in an xterm 3. Log out of the failsafe session 4. Log back as the original user I do it this way because it's easier for my wife and kids to use the computer by logging in via KDM rather than giving them a shell login. Since my machine doesn't get rebooted very often this is not a drama for me ;) Hope this helps...Geoff On Fri, 25 Feb 2005 01:10 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Message: 9 Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 23:00:36 +0100 From: Edward Lichtner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How do I get KDM to launch KDE ?

RE: DRI support for Intel i810
Chris, In order to get DRI working you need to load a kernel module prior to starting X. Eric Anholt plus others have done a bucklet of work to get DRI for various cards working on FreeBSD. This is the main ( I think ) DRI website at http://dri.sourceforge.net. Eric's website is at http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ although it is a little out of date now. The troubleshooting section might be of some use though. I know for a fact ( as late as October 2004 ) that DRI for the Intel i810/i815 chipset on FreeBSD as I have a system based on the i815. However, I also know that work was progressing on the later chipsets. I'm not sure of the progress as I took the easy way out and installed a Radeon based graphics card that was known to work ;) Hope this helps...Geoff On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 03:58 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Message: 7 Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 19:07:35 + From: Chris Hodgins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DRI support for Intel i810 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi, I am trying to get DRI to work with X.org on my 5.3-RELEASE system.

RE: OpenGL hardware acceleration with FreeBSD 5.3
Michael, This might sound like a stupid question but...Did you load the DRI kernel module for the card before start the X server? 3D acceleration under X is a two part system. There is the X server and the DRI module for X, but it also requires a kernel module for the hardware being accelerated. The main DRI web site is at: http://dri.sourceforge.net There is also Eric Anholt's web site which is a little out of date, but you might find the troubleshooting section of use. http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ Regards...Geoff On Tue, 25 Jan 2005 04:15 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Message: 25 Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 13:48:23 -0600 From: Michael Madden [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OpenGL hardware acceleration with FreeBSD 5.3 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I have a Matrox G400, and I cannot figure out how to get hardware acceleration setup for it. glxinfo still displays direct rendering: No, and OpenGL apps like glxgears are slow.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 87, Issue 23
Oops. What I meant was that DRI for i810/i815 chipset does not work ( as of about October 2004 ) which is why I ended up buying a Radeon board ( as I said later in the post ). Sorry about the confusion.

Re: xorg/xfree86
Hi Dick, I'm running Xorg on FreeBSD 4.10 and don't seem to be having any operational problems doing so. I compiled Xorg from source. The conversion from XFree to Xorg went smoothly, and in my case I got extra functionality from my graphics card that I couldn't get working with XFree so it was a bonus for me. I do have problems when installing software from packages as most of the packages seem to have XFree as a requirement, but using pkg_add -f gets around that. The installed packages all work as expected. You may need to run pkgdb -F to fix up any dependency problems if you install from packages, but the Xorg and XFree package names are quite similar so it is not a big issue. Regards...Geoff Message: 39 Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 21:39:34 +0100 From: dick hoogendijk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: xorg/xfree86 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII I run FreeBSD-4.10 and will remain to do so for some time. Now I read on the fbsd site the following text: /quote/ As mentioned in a prior section, Xorg is the default implementation of the X Window System. The Ports Collection (as well as packages) rely on this change to satisfy dependencies. To convert the installed windowing system from XFree86 to Xorg, refer to the Installing X11 section in the FreeBSD Handbook. /endquote/ Does this mean that compiling from source will be difficult on my 4.10 machine which runs XFree86? I don't want to change to Xorg (yet). Are there things to do to keep on running 4.10 and ports for a while without a hassle? -- Geoff Glasson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Device probing
Hi, I am trying to port the Linux i810 DRI kernel module to FreeBSD and am having some difficulty recognising that the device is present in the system. As I understand it, the list of unattached devices is passed to the probe method of a PCI kernel module so that the module can decide whether it is one that it supports. Is it possible to attach to an already attached device? The reason that I ask this is that a test module which looks for my i815 graphics card is able to find it if the AGP kernel module is not loaded, but if the AGP module is already loaded it can't. I have tried RTFMing, but I'm not sure that I'm even looking in the right place. I am running on FreeBSD 4.8 on a Pentium 3. Any assistance or advice will be most welcome.
