This looks like the classic error of the agp module having been loaded by the drm because it's required, but agp doesn't probe/attach because a generic bridge driver has already claimed the agp device. What would it take to get AGP into GENERIC? It's useless as a module the way most people expect it to use it, and not having it makes a reboot required to configure X for i8x0, along with configuring the DRI. > XDM generally did still seem to come up okay, although occasionally > the system would panic right at that initial XDM startup.

April 27th was when the DRM went into -current. Did you ever get a dump/backtrace of the panic?

Can you still make it panic after adding agp? -- Eric Anholt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
