According to a message I received from Sales Administrator Cindy Miley of Xi Graphics this morning, Xi Graphics "no longer support[s] FreeBSD in our retail products." This would be very sad, if it's true, as it would mean that FreeBSD could not work with dozens of graphics controllers which Xi Graphics supports but XFree86 does not. It would also mean the end of multi- head and laptop support. All of Xi Graphics' products will still be available for Linux, according to their Web page. Sounds like some FreeBSD folks had better get out there, advocate, and MARKET. This is a major setback for the platform. --Brett Glass P.S. -- Note that while I'm copying this message to the "advocacy" list, I'm not subscribed to it -- so I won't see postings that are directed only to that list.
