I solved the problem XAA is enabled, so 2D acceleration is enabled. My system isn't slow, but only Thunderbird and Acroread are slow. Other programs like opera, pidgin, inkscape, abiword, gnumeric, . work without problems at normal speed. TB and Acroread are the programs (with gui) I use the most under FreeBSD. TB is not so slow under XP I will look for alternatives to Thunderbird and Acrobat Reader The composite extension is enabled in xorg but unused in XFCE, so I will disable it in my xorg.conf ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

yes, this will DEFINITELY kill your performance. even with 3D accel enabled on
my Radeon M24 X600 composite is quite slow (not as much as with 3d..but still).

So those are very well supported by Xorg. Documentation for newer models was hard/impossible to obtain for a long time. But recently an open source driver for the r500 chips called xf86-video-avivo was announced, and AMD has committed itself to release open source drivers for ATI cards was well. So you could look for an older 9200 card, or wait for the new drivers.

The latest chip that is supported by radeon & drm for 3D accelleration is the 9250 aka RV 280. The 9600 is much newer. It is only supported in 2D by Xorg's radeon driver.

loading the modules would have done the same as building into it, with no build
time :)
sorry, I don't know ... so you still dont get any information about the card in
dmesg and pciconf still shows the card as none: ... ?
