If I can get past the module > problem I'll look at the bge change soon. I did notice that commit, and wondered if it was related, but I don't know how similar the bge and bce drivers are. I've been doing our testing on -STABLE, but the box exists purely to verify FreeBSD compatibility on the new Dell 1950/2950s, so I'm happy to test anything you'd like tested. (in case anyone else is interested, -STABLE mostly seems to work ok on the 1950, apart from the bce problems, and the virtual keyboard on the DRAC remote access card not working once the kernel is loaded.) Thanks very much for looking at this! Sam. -- "Fortified with Essential Bitterness and Sarcasm" Matt Groening, "Binky's Guide to Love".
