Hello,

I managed to get r300 to compile and installed into
'usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri - r300_dri.so'. I found a
nice source package under the FreeBSD ports
'dri-6.2.20050719,1' that downloded the source for
r300, Mesa3D and drm, it built and installed fine. I
ran Xmoto as a test GL game and it was still slow 2
FPS mode, I did a glxinfo command and it said dri is
not enabled. Any more suggestions to get this going?
Thanks!
