I've researched the neomagic/X problem and have a running X-server using the redhat binary for this chips set. So why am I writing and wasting bandwidth? I was wondering this: If I switch to freebsd would I be able to use the linux emulator to run the redhat binary X-server? Or would I simply be better off applying the neomagic patch to the X source and recompiling? Or should I just do both and then announce my findings? mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
