If you're talking about a driver for running Xfree86, their drivers are OS-neutral, so you can simply copy the *_drv.o file into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers on your FreeBSD box, edit your XF86Config file, and be done. If you're talking about something else, then no, you probably can't use it. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
