You can run linux programs (via linux compatiblity layer, which is moved into a PBI for freash 1.11a installs).

Linux drivers howeveer will not work :@

I have the same problem with my XPRESS 200M

I know we have a topic (http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=3532) on 3D Accel. But I don't know abotu Hardware accel.

DRI is also built into the Kernel in PCBSD 1.11

DRM is built into kernel, DRI is from ports and installed by default.

If X -configure can find your card, then you are lucky.

that was fast ! :-)

HW acc 3D acc nothing works ! sooo :-)
i cant even use a screensaver ! it shows like 0,2 FPS ! .-)

one question !
X -configure
where do i run that command ?? shell i gues ! but i get an error !

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.

do i have to reboot to shell and not in to X ?

do i have to reboot to shell and not in to X ?

go into singleuser mode:

# shutdown now
# X -configure
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# diff XF86Config xorg.conf
# ee xorg.conf
# reboot

Hi again !

# shutdown now
# X -configure
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

that worked ! but i couldent get
# diff XF86Config xorg.conf
# ee xorg.conf
to work !

weird thing is when i rebooted my desktop ran at 1920*1440 !

Show me your xorg.conf file, please.

My mistake, can't tell my DRI form my DRM..

I know what you mean Blue, I've screwed with my X settings till it was red in it's face and blue in mine. Still I can play BillardsGL & (slowly) Lincity but not TuxKart or the chess game. Which was an improvment.

Xorg is not supporting your card I see. You can try with Driver "ati" or "radeon", but I doubt it work.
Your kernel already got all necessary components if you use PC-BSD 1.1 and newer.

well ok ! got a killer GFX card and cant use it ! Wuuhuu !!

anyways !
Thanks :-)
