Hi there,

First of all, many thanks for making FreeBSD and Xfree86 working on PC.

I have some comments on those, just for your information:

I run FreeBSD 2.0 (and its snapshot) and XFree86 3.1.x
on my PC. (DX4-100/isa/pci, 3c509, Adaptec 2940, Quantum 1080s,
ATI Mach 64, NEC XE17, Combinet CB-160 for ISDN)

I tried some some combinations of the 2.0 and the 3.1.x.
Some work, others don't:

2.0 + 3.1:			working, except no X for ATI Mach64, 
                         		and not working for 2940+1080s

2.0-950322-SNAP + 3.1:		working, except no X for ATI Mach64
					but working for 2940+1080s

2.0-950322-SNAP + 3.1.1:	cannot make it work for ATI Mach64,
				even XF_SVGA doesn't work for my ATI Mach64

2.0-950412-SNAP:		failed on the installation;
				stop at "root device changed to sd0a..."

Thus so far, only the combination of 2.0-950322 + 3.1 work for me.
I cannot fully use the ATI Mach64 card, but use it as a SVGA card.

Just try to give you all some feedback. You all just have done
a very good job! As a user, I very appreciate it!
