radeonhd does offer 2d acceleration, and 3-d is a work-in-progress, with existing support for some of the newish cards. You can get more info here: http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd Actually, the entire thing is still a work-in-progress, but the community is supportive. If you try to build from the git sources, you'll need to have the devel/xorg-macros port/package installed for the autogen.sh step to work. g. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
