Heck, Jordan, you weren't first. I can't understand why Alex is all upset, most especially about the sound breakage (which I don't see, my sound works fine). The sound stuff is one of the things that's likely to be helped by the fact of our bus technology on the road to becoming closer to NetBSD/OpenBSD bus technology, so we can share code. It's not done, but that's the path, and Alex would be one of those helped by it. I don't see any breakage at all, myself, but even if there is (and I know, there must be some) then it sure seems worth it. This new-bus stuff is absolutely great, and I hope Doug, Peter, and everyone else involved doesn't hear the criticism only. You guys are doing fine work. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
