Just want to be sure.
And I thought, Ted, that you had been working on DRM for OpenBSD, but I

Anyone running current with Xorg7.2 with a radeon card?
I always used nVidia cards but I have been told that radeon has the
best 3D support as far as free software solution goes... so I have
been thinking of getting a radeon instead.
I tried to find a list of supported cards by the radeon on
Ahhh actually I just typed in man radeon and there's some list of
supported chipsets(?), I don't know why I didn't looked there in the
first place!!! I guess I expected the X site would have some info...
But still, I never used Radeon cards before if you have some links

As I recall, X.org 3D acceleration requires kernel-level support for DRI that
Sorry for spamming... but I really want to ask as I have read more.
From the man page of radeon on current, R400 series has 3D hardware
acceleration... so what is R400 series? Is RV410, R420, R423/R430 and
R480/R481? What concerns me now is that they all says (2D only), is
the one with no 2D

There's no 3D support on OpenBSD due to lack of DRI and DRM.

Ohhh I see now that's why it says 2d only. Thanks.

If you want 3D and BSD, your only option currently is FreeBSD.
IIRC, NetBSD has made some progress and they got some drivers working.

Those man pages are from X.org. X.org supports 3d acceleration on
some (older) graphics cards but only 2d on some (newer) others.
OpenBSD does not support 3d acceleration on any cards.

the radeon driver does support 3d. if you have a kernel with drm, it
will try to use it.
Of course, but the kernel doesn't support drm, and somebody reading the
documentation has no way to know. At the very least, there could be an
