Hello, Several PRs were closed based on the argument that FreeBSD/amd64 cannot call to the VESA BIOS. XFree86 solved this problem by means of the INT10 module. I believe that it would be possible to do the same on the FreeBSD kernel. Is there any ongoing effort to enable the VESA kernel moule on non-i386 platform? Is there any particular difficulty for doing this, besides depending on VM86? -- cd /usr/ports/sysutils/life make clean
