Whatever plan there is, is mine... I do intend to make the updates to at least 7.5 base set before too much longer, however as I have stated there are issues for various chips that need resolving. I don't have a solution that I am happy with for either intel or nouveau right now, radeon will just work. As was also mentiioned... I get lots of grief when updates are made, which doesn't help my motivation for the massive amount of work required to get this done. The effort requires not only updating the main chip drivers, but lots of obscure drivers that have 3 users, as well as a full pointyhat run and generally fixing lots of non-xorg ports with the new infrastructure. robert. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-x11@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-x11-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Robert Noland FreeBSD
