I simply forgot in my desperate pain, sorry. >> > See > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2011-March/010737.html I downgraded the AMD/ATi driver to version xf86-video-ati-6.14.0_1, I desperately need my boxes since I have to finish work. Three different types of AMD/ATi graphics cards out of the same product class are not working with the new xf86-video-ati-6.14.1 and as the above mentioned link suggests, the solution is well known. I was wondering how this port could be so easily slipped into the repository ... Since the patch Jun-uk Kim referred to is a GIT patch and it seems to work, is there a 'simple' way without installing the GIT stuff from ports to patch the defective port?
