After a few requests I thought I would share some more exact steps to
how I got dri/drm + compiz working on the eee.

I'm running GENERIC with the ath patches.

First I had to add the i915drm* at vga? option to my kernel, this gave
me the drm supported I needed for DRI. (actually, I put them all in
there)

To /etc/mk.conf I added:
X11_TYPE=modular
PKG_OPTIONS.modular-xorg-server+=dri

I modified the Makefile of xf86-video-intel to use ".include
"../../wip/modular-xorg-server/buildlink3.mk" instead of ".include
"../../x11/modular-xorg-server/buildlink3.mk"

I built wip/modular-xorg-server

xf86-input-keyboard needs the same trick

xf86-input-mouse also needs it

(I also built the rest of modular-xorg-[apps, fonts]) and glx-utils)

I ended up with all the various Mesa, glut, and opengl packages which
may or may not have come through dependencies.  :)  glxgears runs in
the 550+ FPS range.

After xorg is installed I did an X -configure which generated a pretty
good xorg.conf.new, which I moved into /etc/X11.

This gave me the "Module" glx, dbe, GLcore, dri, and a few others

The Driver "intel" under "Device"

I'm using a Depth 24 under Section "Screen"

And I added the following to the bottom of the file:
Section "ServerFlags"
 Option "AIGLX" "true"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
 Mode 0666
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection


For starting compiz I had to do the following:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace
--indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp &
(from here:

)

Good luck,
Matt
