--- Comment #30 from wbe@psr.com ---
I haven't tried the patch because the system in question runs entirely on p=
kg
packages.  I've watched for a new version of xf86-video-mga, but I haven't =
seen
one so far.  I then hoped the update would be included with FreeBSD 14.0, b=
ut
it wasn't.

I haven't had occasion to use git (ever).  My experience from the portsnap =
days
is that trying to build a small piece (such as this driver) may try to drag=
 in
and build the whole hierarchy, and I'm not interested in building all of X11
just to get this piece, so I've shied away from trying.

If my worries are unfounded, and it's possible to build just xf86-video-mga
using the otherwise existing 14.0-RELEASE pkg installed X11 headers and
libraries, point me to a description of how to use git to do that and I'll =
give
it a try.
