Ati driver

Hey,

I`m new to teh the bsd *BSD world and just installed Freebsd FreeBSD. Only thing missing is my video driver. ATI Radeon X1250. How to install?

If you installed the x11/xorg meta-port or package, x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati would have been installed automatically. If you didn't install the meta-package, you can still install x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati on its own.

Looks like the driver is installed but I don't have any 3D acceleration.

Code:
$ glxinfo | grep -i render
direct rendering: yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 NO-TCL
 
What makes you think you don't have any 3D acceleration? The very output you pasted shows that you do.

There's no 'trick'. The OP had 3D acceleration enabled.

Ah, I forgot that Gallium3D isn't available on FreeBSD. Still, if he is having performance problems, then I still think there's something that's misconfigured. I suspect something in his xorg.conf is causing an issue.
 
Except that we don't know if the OP is having any performance problems and, if so, with what application. doom3, for example, is not going to perform well, and that's to be expected. No amount of tweaking in xorg.conf is going to change that.
