Perhaps the port could have an option for it? (I can make a patch >for the port to do so if it would be useful :) Only because nobody who is interested in it has tested it and told us (XFree86) that it works (until now?). If it does all seem to work, send me a patch with any changes (even if only config changes), and I'll add it to the XFree86 development code. Make sure that the config changes only enable it for FreeBSD versions where it will work.
