(I hope I'm not coming off hostile with this, it's not my intent). Looking at https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics I see there's a WIP for importing DRM from Linux 3.8. When you do it, can you please keep in the non-x86 support? It's already behind #ifdef's, so won't be used in x86 code anyways. Big endian/non-x86 support was pulled out when merging in the Radeon KMS driver, which only makes enabling PowerPC support that much more onerous. Looking at the Linux code, leaving that in place does not add much complexity at all. I understand that you may not want to, or be able to, test non-x86, but that's worked around within the makefile already, ripping the code out becomes unnecessary then. I'll finish by thanking everyone involved in the work that's going into keeping the Xorg stack current. Thanks, Justin
