Hi list,

I sent an email to www@ yesterday but received no response, so I'm
sending it here (sorry if this is the wrong).

The X11/TODO wiki page (http://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/X11/Todo) has
not been updated since 2008 so it doesn't mention Mr. Belousov's
recent work on KMS (or his request for additional involvement).
Would the section below be a reasonable addition?

Is the page still intended to be used? If so then I'll take a deeper
look at it and the X11 Roadmap page -
(http://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/X11/Roadmap) to see if they can be
cleaned up a bit.

Patsy

======================================================================

KMS drivers:

With the latest releases of Xorg and Mesa, hardware accelerated support
for many older cards was dropped. For these cards Linux provides the
following software accelerated KMS drivers that need to be developed
for/ported to FreeBSD:

GMA500
AST2300
MGAG200
generic fbdev

All of these drivers use xf86-video-modesetting.
