I also bought a EPIA Mini-ITX in early June before seeing the posting that the video wasn't supported by X on FreeBSD (Linux - supposedly yes, BSD not yet). The previous responder (thanks Erik) said, "the CLE266 chipset will be supported in the port of XFree86 4.4" I just had a look at the FreeBSD Ports page: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi and there's no sign of XFree86 4.4 yet. Questions: 1, Does anybody know the timescale of the port for XFree86 4.4? 2, Will the port of XFree86 4.4 be important enough that it will be announced on the "freebsd-announce" mailing list? (I did get an X windows manager running on the VGA S server but it was too low resolution to be useful.)
