As peter said, I am sure this will be a big massive bikeshed. But I second the opinion of it going in. This is probably one of the top 3 questions I hear about FreeBSD. "Whats the status of DRI". "Do you guys have DRI yet?". "I wanted to install FreeBSD instead of foo Linux but I needed DRI for my q3". I think it's clearly something the populous wants. And DES has already done a large chunk of work on it. And if it is something that will accelerate its adoption into BSD land then I think it would be a mistake not to bring it in. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
