I have read about a patch for Intel video that might make it into Release 9.0, is there any way to know if it is in "9.0-current"? I installed the 9 beta 2 snapshot, but I don't think the video support was there. (Next time I will check the compatibility list!) The patch is for Intel laptop video support, and is mentioned here: http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.com/2011/02/freebsd-foundation-announces-new.html "The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce that Konstantin Belousov has been awarded a grant to implement support of GEM, KMS, and DRI for Intel Drivers. This project is being co-sponsored by iXsystems. The project is to implement GEM, port KMS, and write new DRI drivers for Intel Graphics, including the latest Sandy Bridge generation of integrated graphic units. The work should allow the latest Intel open-source driver to run on FreeBSD, expanding the range of hardware where FreeBSD is suitable for the desktop."
