Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 mailing li= st <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 235847: x11-drivers/xf86-video-chips: Update to 1.4.0 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235847 --- Description --- New version of xf86-video-chips port is available via upstream. In additio= n to bug 235839, this is also a candidate for removal from the ports tree as it = is unclear to hardware usage in the wild coupled with the fact that it may not build on xorg-server-1.20. Release announcement via: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2019-February/002943.html This is a bug fix release of Chips & Technologies DDX for X.Org X Server. There was an X Server crash bug with the Version 1.3 and older code when the code was converted for a newer vgaHW ABI. This affects devices older than the HiQVideo generation. This release fixes this particular issue. Please note that the code may not compile against X Server 1.20 since it no longer supports 24-bit color.
