Would the FreeBSD team consider the benefits of integrating Xfree86 v4.3.x for v4.8?!? The upgrade that was done on the video drivers alone was worth it for me. -Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jose M.

BTW, I think that 4.8-RELEASE should include XFree86 4.3, which supports additional harware (ATI Radeon 9x00 models, for example), even if that implies a delay of one or two weeks.
