What's the status of DisplayPort, especially using an Intel GM45 Express (Thinkpad T500)? I've a new monitor that uses DisplayPort but I don't see it mentioned in dmesg or Xorg.0.log, nor does it show in the GNOME Displays prefs. This is: FreeBSD battered.mike-burns.com 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Wed Aug 5 14:30:30 EDT 2009 root@battered.mike-burns.com:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/BATTERED amd64 With these ports: xorg-7.4_2 X.Org complete distribution metaport xorg-apps-7.4_1 X.org apps meta-port xorg-docs-1.4,1 X.org documentation files xorg-drivers-7.4_2 X.org drivers meta-port xorg-fonts-100dpi-7.4 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-7.4 X.org fonts meta-port xorg-fonts-75dpi-7.4 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-cyrillic-7.4 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-7.4 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-truetype-7.4 X.Org TrueType fonts xorg-fonts-type1-7.4 X.Org Type1 fonts xorg-libraries-7.4 X.org libraries meta-port xorg-macros-1.2.1 X.Org development aclocal macros xorg-server-1.6.1,1 X.Org X server and related programs xorg-vfbserver-1.6.1,1 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org Is this under development? Is there a patch? Is the problem in FreeBSD, Xorg, or both? Is there somewhere I should donate money to this cause? -- Mike Burns mike@mike-burns.com http://mike-burns.com
