Go to your xorg.conf and look at this section:

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection  "extmod"
  Option"omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSectio

As you can see, I have it disabled. If you just remove "omit" then it _should_ 
load your module. 

I'm playing Unreal Tournament 2004 all the time on my Gentoo Linux machine, 
using Xorg. It runs like a train, never any problems with it. So I don't 
think that Xorg has no compatibility with XFree86 or anything.

Currently i have to as im using pekwm and i cant get gnome to compile,
fails on fam. Anyway i'll keep searching for a fix, strange all the same
thou, the mouse buttons work just cant move the mouse :?

Thanks for the advice, the reason i swapped over to -CURRENT was i
couldn't use the nvidia driver with xorg on 5.2.1, the whole system used
to freeze and restart, since using current it has been fine, im not
recompiling my tree all the time thou as its stable atm and i want to
keep it that way :)

Perhaps you should start Quake3 from the command line to see if it spits out 
any errors regarding your mouse. I played UT2003 on FreeBSD as well, and that 
worked just fine with the mouse.

Do note that CURRENT has the bleeding-edge kernel sources, which are often 
considered as very instable. If you're not a developer, you will probably be 
better of with a RELEASE (5.2.1) or STABLE (4.10) version of FreeBSD.

Quake3 & mouse, silly i know

2004-08-01 Thread Glyn Tebbutt
Hi all
i've finally had success with installing freebsd, running -CURRENT  &
xorg solid now, very pleased indeed. So now im just build my system,
with the apps i use etc etc but i have a question, to test the GL out of
my nvidia card *which is perfect actually* i tried quake3, the only
problem i have is, my mouse doesn't seem to want to work it wont grab
it, its a silly question i know, i have search google but havn't found
anything relating
Thanks everyone
