I've bought a new machine, which came with a radeon x800se (pci-express). From what I gathered, neither PCI-Express is fully supported on FreeBSD 5.3, nor is the X800SE supported by X.org 6.7.0 (but it is supported by 6.8.1). Now before I start a, without doubt painful, attempt at building 6.8.1 myself from the pristine sources, I'd like to know if a) the pci-express card will work at all, b) how long until 6.8.1 will appear in ports, and c) is http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg-681-up-5.diff sufficient to patch an up-to-date ports tree to xorg 6.8.1? Thanks for any answers. -- Matthias Buelow; mkb@{mukappabeta,informatik.uni-wuerzburg}.de
