So I choose 7.6. Please don't do this yet. 7.6 does have r600 support, but it still has some bugs that make it really unusable in compiz or kde4. The primary issue in 7.6 is text and menu corruption under compiz/kde4. Basically, most anything you type is displayed incorrectly. 7.6.1 is due out any time, which has those issues resolved. It's also possible that we might have issues with libdrm, but I don't know that for sure right now. robert. -- Robert Noland <rnoland(a)FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

It was actually an incorrectly calculated size, but all is fixed in the pending 7.6.1 release. This has nothing to do with swrast though, that is a software only path. robert. -- Robert Noland <rnoland(a)FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

So I remaked 7.6.1-rc2. I'll update to 7.6.1-rc2. 7.6.1 was going to be released a week ago or so, but intel didn't have their act together, so it ended up delayed a bit. It should be released fairly soon, like within a week or two at most I would say. robert. -- Robert Noland <rnoland(a)FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

So I choose 7.6. Actually, looking through the patch now... Two things jump out at me... We can't currently update libdrm in the ports collection without breaking nouveau. The second is, don't enable libdrm_radeon, even when we can. libdrm_radeon is only needed for TTM/KMS enabled radeon and may cause upgrade/build issues if it exists. robert. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-x11(a)freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-x11-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" -- Robert Noland <rnoland(a)FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

HD 3650 AGP. glxgear, other demos and even some old > games in wine like deusex work fine. Openarena, UT, vdrift, nexuiz, etc... should all work fairly well also. There are still features that are not yet implemented on r600, but I tend to run all of the above all video options enabled on highest settings. Really large textures are slow and it seems like I found one option that really hurt performance (bloom maybe), but otherwise they are all more than playable on my HD4650 core2duo e7400.
