Doug Rabson is aware of the bus access methods that allow Linux/Alpha to use the i386 XFree servers which don't support the NetBSD bus access methods. This means that FreeBSD/Alpha will eventually be able to support all the X servers that Linux/Alpha does. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
