I do not use drivers from the development tree aside the FreeBSD development tree, including ports. By the way, whenever I use 'radeon' on my lab's box (FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/amd64 SMP, Xorg 7.4), every reboot (shutdown -r or reboot(1)) crashes the system, leaving the box unusable (filesystem /var gets dirty and so the OpenLDAP server doesn't start anymore). This issue is due to the xorg-7.4-driver (radeon, radeonhd doesn't work as I said). The graphics card is a HD4670. Without xdm/Xorg started the box reboots clean. This also happened when this box ran FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE before the upgrade last week! With the new drm-code, DRI isn't usable as option anymore on all FreeBSD 8.0 boxes I have around here equipted with ATI HD4670/HD4830 cards. The situation is really nasty this moment.Received on Fri Mar 13 2009 - 19:36:48 UTC
