Looks as if I'll need to reboot to find that out; in the mean time:

db> show irqs
irq0: clk (no thread)
irq1: atkbd0 (pid 37)

While I'm waiting for the fsck to complete, I'll remind folks that this
hardware & configuration (as it was, with DRI enabled) was working fine
in stable/6.  In stable/7, it works if I disable DRI.  When I was using
X.org built under stable/6, I also needed to disable DRI to run X.org
under stable/7 (or /8) reliably (using the compat6x port).

The hardware in question is by no means "cutting edge" -- it has been
around for years.

OK; here's the stanza for the ATi device:

vgapci0 at pci0:1:0:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x00d51028 chip=0x4c661002 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'ATI Technologies Inc. / Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'
    device     = 'Radeon Mobility 9000 series (ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 (Microsoft Corporation -)'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
    bar   [10] = type Prefetchable Memory, range 32, base 0xe0000000, size 134217728, enabled
    bar   [14] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xc000, size 256, enabled
    bar   [18] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xfcff0000, size 65536, enabled
    cap 02[58] = AGP 4x 2x 1x SBA disabled
    cap 01[50] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D1 D2 D3  current D0

(obtained after booting with the /etc/ttys entry for xdm turned off).

Let's see... dmesg says that the Ati card is at irq 11; vmstat -i
only shows "cbb0 cbb1++*" for irq 11.  I *think* dmesg is showing
that nearly everything on the machine that isn't explicitly listed
in the "vmstat -i" output is assigned to irq 11; I've attached a
copy of dmesg.boot.

I'll try setting AGPMode to a non-default value & see what happens.

Thanks.

Peace,
david
