I didn't try to port anything, but I was keeping an eye on the Linux project because I have a DXR-3 myself. If you are in need of FreeBSD testers, I'll gladly volunteer. Writing kernel drivers is still a bit above my head though... Maybe you should also ask on freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org - that is a more appropriate list for kernel hacking questions, in as far as I understand. --Stijn -- Tact, n.: The unsaid part of what you're thinking.
