Well, NetBSD still claims to support some of the ancient platforms for those drivers, so they might be: - xf86-video-tga - DEC Alpha graphics, for mid-90's systems such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Multia - xf86-video-newport - SGI MIPS workstation graphics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_Indy#Graphics but those drivers don't seem to be getting all the API/ABI updates, and haven't had releases to make them compatible with any recent X server, so they'd have to be patching them to make them work. Perhaps NetBSD folks who support those platforms should become their maintainers? -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
