Direct Rendering on a PCIe x800

Hello all,

    I'm having a problem getting direct rendering working on one of my 
workstations.  I'm running -CURRENT from November 17th with Xorg 
installed from the modular Xorg ports tree yesterday (though I first 
noticed this a couple weeks back when I built modular Xorg using jhbuild):

[ adamk at sorrow - ~ ]: Xorg -version

X Window System Version 7.1.1
Release Date: 12 May 2006
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT i386
Current Operating System: FreeBSD sorrow.ashke.com 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD

        Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
        to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present

If I boot up with DRI enabled in the config file, the server starts, but 
the very top of the screen shows some visual corruption.

I dropped the resolution of the image from 2304x864 to 1600x800, but you 
can still make out the corruption.  What's particularly odd, though, is 
that the root window is never drawn.  The background you see is actually 
the background from my previous X session (when I had DRI disabled), 
using windowmaker.  This time I launched X and had fvwm2 in my .xinitrc 
file (you can see the outline of the fvwm pager in the screenshot, 
though that never finished drawing, either).

After that nothing else gets drawn.  I can move the mouse pointer, but 
that's about it.  I can safely kill X and restart it, but the same thing 
happens unless I disable DRI.

In comparison, I have another workstation with an AGP x700.  -CURRENT 
from the same date, and modular Xorg from the ports tree from yesterday, 
too.  It works just fine (start up fine, and the mesa demos run with 
acceleration). 

You can find the Xorg log file from the PCIe system at

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Adam
