I have been unable to use FreeBSD for the past two months. This is
because my new computer has a A7A266 motherboard. There is one bug
logged against this board, dated 6/25. I gave up hope with FreeBSD-4.3.
But now 4.4 has been released.

So I went and looked everywhere for information on the status of this
popular board. NOTHING! The bug has never been modified. All messages to
any list (including my own) inquiring as to the this mobo's support have
met with stone silence or irrelevant answers (like running xf86cfg
again).

So, how does one determine if a bug has been fixed other than spending
several hours downloading each release as it is announced, trying it
out, finding it doesn't work, and calling DaemonNews to cancel the next
subscription ship? Short question: how do I get a developer's attention
so I can get someone to work on this problem?

Thanks,

David
