If it's a proper XFree86 module and XFree86 didn't screw up compatibility (I don't think they did), it should continue working, but it could do things that would prevent it from working in a new server. I haven't tested cards besides the radeon due to lack of time so far. The -9 diff is up (http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/X/files.html) and I haven't had any reports of problems with it so far. If you get X 4.3.0 working with it in the next couple of days, it would be great if people could mail me and mention what card, if they had to change anything from a 4.2.0 installation to get it to work, and briefly how they've tested it (i.e. started up gnome2 and did something, not just "it built" or "startx works") -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
