[Openchrome-users] Direct Rendering VT8378 KM400

[Cinolt]

To be honest I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I have installed
libdrm-2.4.12, dri-7.4.4. In the FreeBSD kernel configuration file there's
these options for DRM:

# Direct Rendering modules for 3D acceleration.
device        drm        # DRM core module required by DRM drivers
device        i915drm        # Intel i830 through i915
device        mach64drm    # ATI Rage Pro, Rage Mobility P/M, Rage XL
device        mgadrm        # AGP Matrox G200, G400, G450, G550
device        r128drm        # ATI Rage 128
device        radeondrm    # ATI Radeon
device        savagedrm    # S3 Savage3D, Savage4
device        sisdrm        # SiS 300/305, 540, 630
device        tdfxdrm        # 3dfx Voodoo 3/4/5 and Banshee
options     DRM_DEBUG    # Include debug printfs (slow)

None of which seems to be OpenChrome. I loaded the drm device and restarted
Xorg to no avail.

Does the Linux kernel been tested to support DRM for OpenChrome? If direct
rendering only depends on the kernel then I wouldn't mind reinstalling to a
Linux system.
