Let's take power management, after you guys do all this work to get the graphics card working how much of devd will you need to implement to get that working properly? I don't understand why this concept seems so hard to grasp but FreeBSD is not Linux why are some people continually trying to turn it into some Frankenstein thing. If you guys consider yourself developers then do what developers do and solve problems with constraints, if you cannot accomplish that stop pushing these breaking changes. None of these kmod guys seems to have put any thought into long term maintenance of this project. Look at the mailing list, every few days there's some breaking changes waiting for patches because something changed in Linux-land... If you can't solve the problem in a maintainable way, you will just create bigger problems for developers down the line. Until you guys have something that's at least as stable as what's available now, keep working on it. Some people take pride in their work and deliver a working product, they don't need to twist peoples arms into getting their way. speaking as someone who's been working on this from pretty much the day > of the initial CFT (maybe before?) - i don't know anyone who's getting > paid for this specific work. at least when it comes to GPU support. > but, if you have the means, I'd love to work on this full time and am > open to any serious offers :) > > -pete > I'd hope you have something more compelling than [http://nomadlogic.org] as your calling card. -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
