Basically, this: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzg3MA
---snip--- Red Hat's Ben Skeggs though has started deleting non-KMS code that is trimming this NVIDIA X.Org driver by thousands of lines of code. While user-space mode-setting will no longer work, kernel mode-setting is the superior solution and is the future. Intel had also recently dropped support for user-space mode-setting. ---snip--- Does anyone (Robert, probably) know, how this will affect FreeBSD in the near and well, eventually distant future? I mean, I guess this one typical linux user's comment from Phoronix discussion probably sums it all, but still, it's hard not to laugh (hysterically): "Well, If portability stands in the way of progress, I say to hell with portability." Well anyway, are we going to lose Nouveau yet before we even properly got it, or are there any plans to workaround this "issue"? I mean, last I heard KMS in FreeBSD is not going to happen for years (if ever), so what other options are still open? m. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
