At the time I tried it, the DRI driver was a bit busted. I did actually build the radeon driver but my X session kept crashing and a buddy who's a FreeBSD developer said to try it without DRI. Since it worked, I just used it from there. Didn't try the closed source ATI driver though. I may revisit it in the near future. Thanks for your comment! Wena,
