I do. It is broken and needs to be fixed. The fix is to convert
the megaport into a metaport. This work has already been done I
believe but for some reason sf/taguchi-san have not committed it.
How much longer do you think I should give them before just
committing the conversion myself?

It has already been split up, the big deal is simply converting
the megaport into a metaport to depend on the other mini-ports.

Keep your hands off the port; if you want action mail
freebsd-xfree86@lists.csociety.org and ask what's going on. I
already did that last week and got no answer.
