But with all the packages built already it's best to take this approach for 7.0/6.3." One of the bigger catch-22s of all this stuff... Until the release package sets show up the packages are *usually* too much of a moving target to do any sensible testing with. Once the release package sets do show up fixing major issues is necessary but minor tweaks can sometimes be too much of a pain. If the ports folks would prefer to fix it per above I'll back that part of the patch out but I'll leave it up to them. I think leaving the xorg-drivers set up the way it is with this patch (and I assume since you didn't argue that point you agree, I hope I'm not putting words in your mouth) is probably best. The X stuff being part of the software distributions is old and I'd like to remove it for 8.X but the general idea was to make getting an X based workstation running as easy as possible for a novice. So it's probably best to not expect them to know what specific driver they need but for people who are more advanced IMHO xorg-drivers can stay separate from xorg-server so people can choose just the one they need if they want. --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-gkmdvgHgG6nH/dke8wh8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHaADI/G14VSmup/YRAoIVAJ9GN44bHpJLuSUSttOzldl74plB5ACfWVuc YfqKypLtFRii11MRqmvda74= =A3nA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-gkmdvgHgG6nH/dke8wh8--
