I've put a trivial patch to the ldescent-0.0.1 release above at ftp://ftp.gsoft.com.au/misc/bdescent.diff.gz This is enough to get it compiled under -current; I don't expect that it will run. Outstanding issues (before we get to the point the Linux people are at): - No palette support (Soren, libvgl has no documented palette handling functions!) - No keyboard support. (The Linux svgalib seems to support calling a user-supplied keyboard handler on interrupt. This is unspeakably bogus if true.) - Possibly broken joystick support (I've never used the joy(4) driver before...). Just FYA; note there are lots of unaddressed issues with the remainder of the code (the warning:code ratio is alarmingly high). -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
