RE: new card, still can't get X11 working
I'm pretty sure DRM/DRI is disabled by default. I haven't manually edited the xorg.conf file, instead I run 'xorgconfig'. Update: I was able to find an ATI Rage Pro 8MB AGP card. I installed it in the system, ran xorgconfig, then ran startx, and guess what. I got into, and out of X w/ out crashing.. Once. So I tried it again, this time the system crashed. - Very strange. The problems seem to be intermittent. Sometimes I can get in, but when I try to get out, it hangs. Attached are the files. BTW, when I come back up after a crash, is there something special I should do?

I can't use drm, also called dri, right now. If you can use it make sure you have this turned on. Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection This is what he meant by drm: # This loads the GLX module Load "glx" # This loads the DRI module #Load "dri" This is how I am running now. DRI carshes my system. Hopefully its not in the drivers, am am troubleshooting it now. DRI if off in the default conf, I think? Also try some of this: Section "Device" Identifier "8500LE" Driver "radeon" #VideoRam65536 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate BusID "PCI:2:0:0" Option "BusType" "AGP" Option "AGPMode" "4" Option "AGPFastWrite" "True" Option "AGPSize" "128" Option "EnableDepthMoves" "True" Option "EnablePageFlip" "On" Option "backingstore" "On" Option "dpms" Screen 0 EndSection You should post you Xorg.conf on a web site for us to check if you can't get it working, or email it to us. I would say not to freebsd because it makes some people annoyed whole are subscribed and I guese on dailup. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: new card, still can't get X11 working
What does your xorg config look like for the video card? Also, the 9200 radeon is on the border of supported and non supported cards. Almost every card with a higher number is not supported for 3d acceleration. I had a radeon 9000 card that worked perfect on 5.2.1 freebsd, but my new AIW 9600 XT only supports 2d acceleration and only in Xorg.. plus i had to manually get the card's id for that to work. The problem lies in the fact that ati now has binary drivers for linux. Most open source video card driver users run linux and so they don't "need" to write a driver when ati provides them with one. Of course ati could always write a freebsd driver, but i won't hold my breath.
