So I take it I'm not going to be able to get my brand new Ferrari 4005WLMi to do DRI just yet? (With the exceptions of resume from suspend and a nasty freezing bug when dynamic frequency scaling is enabled this is a SWEET machine for i386 FreeBSD -- haven't tried 64bit yet) Yes, I've finally moved on from my I8k to something a bit newer, faster, thinner, lighter, etc... Is there anything I could help test out in this area?
