Hello, I have a laptop with an Optimus setup with haswell graphics and an nvidia ca= rd. As none of this is currently supported, I had been using the VESA drive= rs. However, the VESA driver no longer functions after I updated ports yest= erday (most likely connected to the removal of old x11). I don't have the specific error message as I'm typing this on another device= , but it seems that the driver can't access the bios (messages include "cann= ot read V_BIOS", neither device reports a bios segment, etc). Is there something I can do to restore the VESA drivers to a functioning sta= te (or alternatively, any sort of development haswell driver I can use), or i= s the only option to revert the ports directory and rebuild everything?=
