Hi,

I need some help getting hardware graphics going. I
built radeon.ko and drm.ko from drm cvs and loaded
them, a quick dmesg drm says the modules are loaded.
(drm 1.21.0 20051229) I was told on here I would need
the r300 DRI module for my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro which I
got from the FreeBSD Ports 'dri-6.2.20050719,1', that
built and installed r300_dri.so. I'm using
radeon_drv.o in my Xorg.conf file as the display
driver, I had a look at my Xorg.conf Log file and it
says: (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering not yet supported on
Radeon 9500 and newer (II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration unsupported on
Radeon 9500/9700 and newer.
(II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration disabled


What else could be the problem?
-- Thanks
FreeBSD 6.0 STABLE

I haven't tried it yet on my r300 based card, so I don't know if it will actually work. I think I read that you need to specify r300 as you xorg driver, not radeon. Radeon is the driver for older radeon cards, r300 is the driver for newer radeon cards.


HTH,
Micah
