I am know X.Org and radeon (AMD). Any other it is only a oss projects. AMD has official support for freebsd? Why we can't have self Radeon X.Org? Whatever we patching their code for compatibility with our kernel and (maybe) stdlibC. Who prevents us from having your driver? Perhaps even the manufacturer will participate.= For example, as was the case with ACPI. 2013/5/7 Jean-S=E9bastien P=E9dron > On 07.05.2013 10:34, Sergey Jamy wrote: > >>> With the help of Konstantin Belousov, J.R.
