Is ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel a permanent replacement for ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810 or should I consider this a temporary work-around until I figure out what's wrong with the i810 driver? If I stick with the intel driver, am I still getting all the benefits (e.g., hardware acceleration and things like that) that I had with the i810 driver? 2. I notice with the intel driver that there are random garbage bits in xterm windows. Is this a known issue? Any fix? -jr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHLjOyls33urr0k4kRAhZ4AKCV/XOAE+v555yv14IZoBhipsNStACgox9s rS2o95+ibKY2xTHMEtvDKuo= =aY+F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
