ATI RAGE Mobility

[Andrew Heyn]

I would like to state that at one point, I did get this to work.
This was also a long time ago, when the patches mentioned
in some of the proceeding links had to be done.. (which were and probably
still are XFree86 specific)

http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/news.html
http://am-productions.biz/docs/fujitsu-p2110.php leads to
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building

I noticed that I had to make sure I rebuilt mach64.ko and some of the X
libraries regarding dri
if I was to upgrade the kernel.

Note this from the Wiki:
"The DRM is shipped with the kernel, so you shouldn't need to build it. If
you choose to, simply run "make && make install" from the drm/bsd directory.
"
This is contrary to the suggestion to install "ports/graphics/drm."  The
building referred
to above is within the X tree.

The history to the mach64 dri support may be of interest:
http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/news.html (already gave this link)

You can always (if you are patient) contact anholt who is rather busy on
freenode.net in
#dri.  Beware, I asked a question there, and fixed it myself before I got an
answer.

Hope this helps more than my other post.
It still sucked pretty bad once I got DRI working with my mach64, but...
It was better...

Thanks!
Andrew

from kernel LINT file
# DRM options:
# mgadrm:    AGP Matrox G200, G400, G450, G550
# tdfxdrm:   3dfx Voodoo 3/4/5 and Banshee
# r128drm:   ATI Rage 128
# radeondrm: ATI Radeon up to 9000/9100
# DRM_DEBUG: include debug printfs, very slow
#
# mga requires AGP in the kernel, and it is recommended
# for AGP r128 and radeon cards.
device          mgadrm
device          "r128drm"
device          radeondrm
device          tdfxdrm
options         DRM_DEBUG

You may need to add the
"device mgadrm"
Hope it helps.
