It's ready! The new version works both standalone as before, and from a FreeBSD port. This is my first time making a port, and I've double checked it and run portlint, but I have probably overlooked something! Please have a good look at it and tell me if I've done something stupid :) You can grab the port here: http://www.neovanglist.net/~Neovanglist/ATI/ati-driver.tar.gz It should be extracted to /usr/ports/x11 It should fetch the distfile from my server... but in case you want to install it the old fashioned way, here is the link: http://www.neovanglist.net/~Neovanglist/ATI/FreeBSD-fglrx_6_8_0-8.20.8-2-ALPHA.i386.tar.bz2 Changes since the last version: * It now installs the glATI.h file. * The panel was installing all kinds of strange things.. and not being very port friendly. It's still bad but it's much better now. (And accounted for in pkg-plist) * All of the Linux documentation and the README file is installed to /usr/X11R6/share/doc/fglrx * Working FreeBSD "port"! (As in for the ports system) * README file updated with some worthwhile content including a compatibility list. In regards to AMD64 support, this is an i386 build and I wouldn't expect it to work on AMD64 :) However, getting an AMD64 version going should be fairly trivial, but I do not have the hardware to test it. Tomorrow I can put together and AMD64 package and add support for it to the FreeBSD port. If you can test/verify that it works I would be thrilled! Enjoy!
