The deprecation of DRM_LINUX was clearly pointed out on the cvs-all@ when it happend, and people tracking current really should be reading cvs-all@. Also, being able to identify what CPU your system has from the dmesg is a rather basic task: > dmesg | grep -A 2 ^CPU CPU: Intel Pentium III (696.97-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x683 Stepping = 3 Features=0x383f9ff Finally, specifically with regards to CPUTYPE=p4, gcc is known to have some problems with -march=p4 even on P4 machines as has been discussed on current@ several times in the past few months. Following the threads on current@ is a rather good idea when tracking -current much like tracking cvs-all@. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
