I understand the Linux framebuffer device was initially based on our VESA driver, but it has evolved into a specialized device for specific graphic cards. It's also a moving target, not something anyone in FreeBSD has been willing to follow. There are more important things to do in FreeBSD's graphics end; fully newbussifying the VESA driver would be nice, perhaps supporting VBE/AF (like in this dead project (http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/freebe/index.html), or of course helping the KGI porting effort* (Hi Nicholas ;) ). cheers, Pedro. * I understand a VM guru is needed there BTW ______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
