Because it's an unsupported, beta, third party binary driver with known bugs which are hacked around (so there are probably more that aren't dealt with). The features it offers aren't used by most users. If you're using it and experience problems, there's little that XFree86 folks can do to help you, because we can't know if it's the MGA HAL that's causing the problem. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
