So anyone successfully built the >XFree86 servers from source on 3.0-R? Patches are required for FreeBSD/ELF (FreeBSD wasn't ELF when 3.3.2 was released). You should be able to use the patches in FreeBSD's XFree86 port. Just ignore any that might be for files not included in X332servonly.tgz Or you could wait for a week or so for XFree86 3.3.3 which will include support for FreeBSD/ELF out of the box. BTW, what chipset are you planning to add support for? David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
