The X11 driver itself does not need to be ported, as it is only =20 architecture dependand, but not OS dependand. So the x86 driver will =20 work with our X.org (as long as the X.org versions are compatible). =20 The only thing what needs to be ported is the kernel interface. Have a look at http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/ATI/ for some =20 preliminary results. Note, I'm not the author, I just host the files. =20 The author doesn't work at this ATM, so anyone is free to pick it up =20 and try to proceed further. Bye, Alexander. --=20 Fortune favors the lucky. http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID =3D B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID =3D 72077137
