There are some recent improvements on -HEAD that we feel that will need some "settle" before putting it through for an MFC patchset. If you have interest, you can actually try manually fetching the -HEAD version of sys/contrib/x86emu, as well as the files committed by jkim@ and I (mainly dev/fb, dev/dpms, i386/isa and modules/x86bios, modules/vesa, modules/dpms, etc). Files in conf/ would require some manual work but these would be trivial. Cheers, - -- Xin LI <delphij@delphij.net> http://www.delphij.net/ FreeBSD - The Power to Serve!
