For the record, "BSD" seems to mean FreeBSD exclusively here (and maybe DragonFly, which relates to FreeBSD like MirOS relates to OpenBSD, namely being a fork). I've tried to build DRI/DRM on OpenBSD and MirOS for XF86 4.4; I eventually got DRI working but it just blanked the screen instead of using Mesa when it didn't find a DRM, which is a K.O. criterium, thus I haven't looked deeper into it. The DRM use FreeBSD-ish <bsd.kmod.mk> whereas OpenBSD and derivates have <bsd.lkm.mk>, and from a short glimpse on the code I've got the impression it's non-trivial to support OpenBSD too. I'm not too experienced in kernel programming though. I think we _can_ load kernel modules though, I've played with a VMware 3 module some time (but VMware didn't want to play with me, so I left). If that "screen blank, no Mesa" issue is fixed, you could probably enable DRI builds on OpenBSD and MirOS, too. I haven't looked into it on 4.5 yet. bye, //mirabile -- > [...] Echtzeit hat weniger mit "Speed"[...] zu tun, sondern damit, daß der > richtige Prozeß voraussagbar rechtzeitig sein Zeitscheibchen bekommt.
