--- Comment #7 from John Hartley <drum@graphica.com.au> ---
(In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #6)

Hi Niclas,

yes I have used and tested.

Testing requires a Linux KVM / QEMU setup as the QXL driver is virtual devi=
ce
driver for use with QEMU.=20

Without the QXL driver X11 startup "startx" fails.

So the driver allows FreeBSD with X11 running as VM.

But you need to make sure that the there is no video/display driver in
configured in "/etc/usr/local/X11/xorg.conf.s" for it to work.

I have attached patch file, which just removes to pyton version check
completely (on assumption that ports is enforcing default python version
somewhere else, as per comment from Jan Beich.

NOTE: In doing build test I have already done pkg install of: libspice-dev
spice-protocol so the bulid process did not go into "spice" dependency buil=
d.

Cheers from Australia,

John Hartley.
