To: bsd , recruiters , "Justin (jlec)" , Javier Villavicencio , zfs-discuss@zfsonlinux.org Hey folks, Can someone provide me (or forward onto the relevant person/team) an update on the Bhyve development? I have been trying ever so hard to find out about the latest AMD Catalyst graphics drivers for FreeBSD (rumours on the internet that they exist and/or are in development) so that I can run multiple displays from my Sapphire Radeon R9 290X. It could still be possible to use this graphics card with FreeBSD 10.1 by means of PCI pass through with Bhyve, although (as I found out with extensive testing with Xen) it is Intel processor favored and supported. When is AMD64 support coming up to the level of development that Intel processors are getting? When will Windows and Mac OS X Snow Leopard onwards be supported? Are installations headless and require something like VNC? Is someone working on a port of Bhyve to Gentoo Linux and also Gentoo FreeBSD too? As always, thoughts/comments most welcome. -stacepellegrino
