Is Vodoo3 supposed to work and have DRI?

[Kris Glynn]

This is true.. Finally got beryl working last night by removing my Geforce 256 (as the nvidia-driver-7184 port does not build on 7.0 current.) and installing an old Geforce4 MX440 64mb.

I was quite surprised how well the old Geforce4 functioned with Beryl and all the desktop effects. Very cool.

Yes, indeed. This worked! The X-servers comes up, and even glxgears seem to spin at decent speed.

However, at random points after much work, such as moving a window "too much" 
or scrolling through "too much" textual output in an xterm, the X-server hangs. In top(1) it looks like:

  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND
  720 mi            1 130    0 80016K  6792K RUN     22.2H 97.56% Xorg

Killing it works (but only with -9) leaving the screen black. Trying to start a new session after this (logging in remotely) hangs the whole machine...

The box is a single Pentium3 @450MHz... Any ideas?

P.S. I must admit, with sadness, that the only case of properly and quickly working OpenGL, that I ever saw on FreeBSD, was with NVidia's own driver...
