These ports build fine on whatever version of the system, but require some specific feature to run. The ddx driver already contains the correct check for required features, which is much more involved then simply check some version. It does check the presense of runtime features and either accurately degrades the performance or declines to run. --Ly6DD2zUc33o81TT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk/D5CcACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4jVzACgxRbdjQgeT/yoDC4WtChVHYmt ZQ0AnjzrMz9yJmJ5GEKORIkrJl5lpWbR =xxPh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Ly6DD2zUc33o81TT--
