Xorg 7.7, ATI 4200 (DRI r600) and AIGLX

[zeissoctopus]

I am an old DRI r600 ATI4200 user. If I compile Xorg 7.7 with the option

WITH_NEW_XORG=YES

in /etc/make.conf, I cannot enable AIGLX in Xserver 1.12.4 and Mesa 8.0.5. It is because Mesa 8.x withdraws the r600 DRI driver.

That is not going to work until Radeon KMS support works. There is a project, and it has made progress, but there is more left to do: https://wiki.freebsd.org/AMD_GPU.

Comment out WITH_NEW_XORG from /etc/make.conf and then rebuild the graphics/libGL and graphics/dri ports. That should get you the classic r600 driver.
