Hi all,

A couple of questions here.
i. Is it feasible to port Linux fbdev modules to FreeBSD (as a modules,
again)? They work quite nice under Linux for multimedia apps, and it's a
pity we haven't got anything of this kind (TNT2 based v/cards with HW
accelleration, for one). Did anybody try to do that? If so, I would
happily join this project (no money for XFree86-supported card like Matrox
or Radeon :-)

ii. If not, is there any chance to port Linux's vm86 - based video module
(see MPlayer CVS version, VESA video-out) to our i386_vm86? It alse work
nice under Linux (no HW accelleration but very low overhead instead).

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Vladimir
