         I'm having problems with XFree86 that result from the fact that 
the ATI Radeon 9800 is not supported by the current 4.3.0 radeon driver. I 
would like to upgrade to current/cvs version of XFree86, 4.3.99 since the 
next release isn't going to be for around another 2 months. My question is, 
what is the most flawless way to do this? Is there a FreeBSD concentric 
repository, or should I just get the sources from the standard XFree86 cvs 
repository? Is there a place where I can instead get frequently updated 
ports of the repository? Building from source is there any configure 
switches that I need to successfully build? Last but not least is it 
possible to build only the radeon drivers and use those in 4.3.0.. if so, 
how do I go about doing that? I had some problems when I only downloaded 
the graphics drivers module.
Thanks for any help,
         James
