GLX stops working with xf86-video-ati

Hi all!

After a port upgrade process, problems appear with games (games stop launch with errors).

Code: 
Error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
File: winsys.cpp
Line: 127

After checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log I see several errors and warnings:

grep -E "EE|WW" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Code:

I check files located at /usr/local/lib/dri and there is a file radeon_dri.so, not r600_dri.so. I try to make a symbolic link: ln -s /usr/local/lib/dri/radeon_dri.so /usr/local/lib/dri/r600_dri.so and restart Xorg.

After that such errors/warnings exist:

I try portupgrade -f graphics/libGL graphics/dri graphics/libdrm and I have
Code: 
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
in /etc/make.conf.

Here is a link to my xorg.conf
 
Please remove
Code: 
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
in /etc/make.conf and recompile xorg. The Xorg 7.7 with
Code: 
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
option result in linking the Mesa 8.x library which removes r600_dri.so offically. If you compile X.Org 7.7 without the
Code: 
WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
option, it will link the old Mesa 7.x library with r600_dri.so for your old ATI.

Please read the porter message from http://miwi.cc/2012/06/cft-xorg-7-7-ready-for-testing/.
 
Thank you @zeissoctopus!

I will do what you say, but I not fully understand, how x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati not drops support for not so old cards like RV630, but MesaLib drops it...

Strange opensource, too much exceptions and restrictions in some cases with opensource software.

It's not so much that Mesa dropped support for that GPU, but that it moved support for the GPU into the new gallium infrastructure which is not yet available on FreeBSD.
 
Thanks @adamk for the explanation!

Will work on KMS on AMD bring support for gallium or are they different things?
