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.
