Dear Sirs, as a casual FreeBSD-User und an enthusiastic Gamer I am especially concerned about how 3d-games run on FreeBSD. If I understand things right, most of the games are linux-ports, and rely on the opengl subsystem provided by the port graphics/linux-f10-dri when using linux-base-f10, which is MESA-Version 7.2. But for a while now the FreeBSD OpenGL subsystem has been Mesa 7.4.4, an recently can even be compiled to 7.6 using the flag "WITHOUT_NOUVEAU="yes". So if the port linux-f10-dri still is Mesa-Version 7.2, all linux-games will still be limited to that really old Mesa-version and not benefit from the newer Mesa-version in FreeBSD. Is that true? And if so, what work is being done to get graphics/linux-f10-dri on pair with the FreeBSD-OpenGL-Subsystem being 7.4 or 7.6? And sure 7.8 will come to FreeBSD soon, too. Would you please give me a short reply and tell if you are looking into that matter? Regards, Werner
