Its also partly because there wasn't enough code sharing between the Linux and BSD drivers and I didn't have enough time to spend keeping the BSD code up to date. Unfortunately, its rotted quite badly now. On the bright side, the linux drivers are being re-done in a much more modular style and hopefully should allow better BSD support in the long term. I don't have much of an opinion on where the code should live. I have commit privileges on the sourceforge DRI project anyway :-). -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
