I'm seeing this: http://cvsup9.tw.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-C= VS/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-sunffb/ . Okay, is it alright if I download the source and build it? If X.org, has a more updated version than what is on FreeBSDS-x11, has it b= een successfully built on a Sunblade 1000 running FreeBSD? My guess is that I should also run Xorg --probeonly and tee it into xorg-pr= obe.txt or something, yes? --- On Wed, 12/15/10, Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com> wrote: From: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com> Subject: Re: Why is wsfb attempting to load?
