DRI troubles

| Hello!
| I'm trying to enable DRI in my FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE laptop with an ATI Radeon 9000 video card. First of all, I uncommented these /etc/X11/XFree86Config lines:

| Everything seems to be ok and following guidelines in http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ site I didn't miss any step.

What are the permission on /dev/dri/card0

try chowning it to your username and restart X.

If that works, and you're using xdm you can try adding the line

chown $USER /dev/dri/card*

in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole

(you should chown root in TakeConsole).

s/xdm/wdm/ if you're using wdm.

(or you can just perma-chown it in /etc/devfs.conf if you don't care all that
much)
