Well, I've been following the FreeBSD graphics page for 2-3 years now and from what I can tell it's been updated basically once per year and with very little/slow progress. Don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing the developers. They are doing a great job, much more than I ever could. However, from what I see, development seems to more or less have stopped. Maybe it is because there was a lot of preparation work that is less visible?... Anyway, I wish the foundation would support the graphics team by sponsoring this development... -- Johannes Lundberg BRILLIANTSERVICE CO., LTD.
