The source is not generally available, and even if it was, it wouldn't be terribly useful to most people -- the XFree86 server code is going through a major architectural change and most drivers haven't been converted yet. 3.9Nd includes the ELF patches that have been posted to this list over the last week or so, and the only point I can see in Stephen mentioning it here is that it is an example of a successful build using those patches. There is nothing in that version in respect of ELF that hasn't already been seen on this list. I expect to make a few further changes when I've converted one of my boxes to ELF and done some testing. When I do, I can post any further patches. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
