I'll remind that the same had happened with > xf86-video-intel, which doesn't support non-KMS setups since 2.10.0. My roadmap is basically, GEM -> TTM -> KMS. GEM, I think I have sorted out what we need to do. TTM, is a bit more tricky, but at least now, I think that I now understand the VM system well enough to get some of this working. KMS on the other hand, needs GEM/TTM to start with and I'm not yet sure how well it will integrate with syscons. My main issue right now is time... I just started a new job which has cut my time for FreeBSD work almost entirely. (read, I'm keeping up with e-mail and most code has to wait for the weekends.) I do have a fair amount of stuff queued up to be committed, and a good bit of cleanup that I would like to knock out. robert. -- Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD
