What do you mean by basic support ? My PCIE X700 now has semi working 3D acceleration - glx and working dri working well enough to play with a few OpenGL apps, I've gone so far as to actually set some of the reallyslick screensavers up - and most work okay, well, not all, some of them whine about the odd issue, but there is limited 3D acceleration here. I mean, FWIW, that 6.9 has basic support for 3D on my 9550. 6.8 doesn't and I heard that 7.0 has much better support. The 6.9 in the ports gave me only 2D acceleration, as expected, no DRI no glx etc. So, which version of 7.x is coming into the ports, and what version of the ati driver will be coming in with it ? 7.1, the one that's bundled. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Radeon >R300 3d support
Hi, I've noticed a lot of people trying to get radeons with R300 and newer cores working with FreeBSD and 3D acceleration. At least there's been a fair few unanswered requests for it for a while now. So, does anyone know when the newer ati drivers will be put in the x.org port, or when that will be updated. I've managed to shoehorn a newer ati driver into the old port and now have sort of working 3D on 6.2-PRERELEASE/amd64 with an x700 mobility. If it's going to be a while before this is integrated into FreeBSD and anyone wants patches I could make it available, but it might need more work for i386 and it's a bit of kludge to get parts of the newer modular X into our 6.9.whatever port.
