1.7.3 works fine on FreeBSD, I won't say without patches... but they are pretty minimal. The primary reason that I haven't updated the FreeBSD ports yet is due to that fact that various cards have ripped out functionality that users currently have. So, as I update things to give people new functionality, I have to break things for other users.... robert. -- Robert Noland <[email protected]> 2Hip Networks _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
