Interesting. Thanks for the tip.
If you don't want to spend a lot of time on this, I'd try a
-in video card is present (wasn't present in the
'pciconf -lv' I posted last week).
What can I do to determine whether the X11 problem is
bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory properly or something
else with the card?
What driver are you using? Radeons don't exactly play well with
FreeBSD

check due to the overly large alignment mpt was asking for.
So, if you see the message bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory
properly start showing up on your console, please contact me ASAP so that
we can find out whether busdma is failing you, or whether we have a driver
that is asking
