Hi, Just to say that this report may well seem a little sparse, but I really don't know what exactly to look for so if anybody needs extra information just shout and I will get it for you ASAP. When I check the X.org log file, it says direct rendering: enabled on my graphics device (it attaches its i810 driver to the kernel's i915 DRM device). This would appear to me to suggest that atleast the X server is running with full DRM capabilities. But when I use glxinfo, it says direct rendering: No. I am just wodnering, is there anything special I need to do for GL to work with the DRM stuff? I haven't installed (atleast knowingly) any other MESA library, so following the advice I have found that should be all I need to check, but apparently something else is wrong and I haven't the faintest idea what to look for. The other other slight oddity is that when i915 probes, it says I have 128 meg video RAM when I really only have 64meg maximum for the intel graphics. Just wondering if anybody had any suggestions, just seems wierd that one says things should be enabled,but the other test program disagrees. Thanks, Alex J Burke.

Have you installed the graphics/dri port? Which version?
Which versions of Xorg and FreeBSD do you have?
For comparison, you can find dmesg, Xorg.log and glxinfo
output from my notebook (also i915) here:
