Re: FreeBSD-Current and XFree86

         Attempted this, first did a deinstall of XFree86-Server and then 
built/installed XFree86-Server-snap. It built and installed perfectly fine, 
from what I can see it runs fine too.. but I get the same error. You 
weren't wrong, in the log once of the supported cards listed is the ATI 
Radeon 9800 NH (AGP), although I have no idea what the NH stands for. The 
only problem is I'm getting the same exact error I was previously..

 From the log file:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.

         I did not attempt any different settings from the norm at this 
time since, if my memory serves me right this is the same exact error I was 
getting before and nothing I tried seemed to fix it. Here is the device 
section as it is now for my radeon 9800, these are the same settings that I 
used to use and worked perfectly fine with my radeon 7000, although I have 
tried a config without the extra options it did not seems to help nor is 
their any reason that I can think of that these options would not work with 
the 9800.

Section "Device"
     Identifier  "Radeon 9800"
     Driver      "radeon"
     #VideoRam    131072
     # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
     Option      "AGPMode"               "4"
     Option      "AGPFastWrite"  "1"
     Option      "EnablePageFlip"        "1"
EndSection

         My problems seem to stem from the fact that the driver has no idea 
what to do with BusID PCI 1:0:1 which may or may not be the actual device 
that I want to be using.. I have no idea what to do about it though. This 
is a plain vanilla ATI Radeon 9800 (AGP) not a pro or some other 
upgraded/downgraded version.. I would think this would be supported by the 
driver.
Thanks again for any input, James.
