XFree86 4.4 port (for Chipset CLE266/VT8235 Graphics) - timescale?
I also bought a EPIA Mini-ITX in early June before seeing the posting that the video wasn't supported by X on FreeBSD (Linux - supposedly yes, BSD not yet). The previous responder (thanks Erik) said, the CLE266 chipset will be supported in the port of XFree86 4.4 I just had a look at the FreeBSD Ports page: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi and there's no sign of XFree86 4.4 yet. Questions: 1, Does anybody know the timescale of the port for XFree86 4.4? 2, Will the port of XFree86 4.4 be important enough that it will be announced on the freebsd-announce mailing list? (I did get an X windows manager running on the VGA S server but it was too low resolution to be useful.)

The XFree86 port in FreeBSD has not yet been updated to 4.4, and the x.org ports are not quite finished yet. In other words: No, the via driver is not available yet, but once the X ports have been updated to the latest release it should work. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AFAIK the XFree86 4.4 ports are currently tested. On CURRENT the X.org ports are now the default, they should work with your VIA too. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks in anticipation, You can also do this by using the driver from XFree86's binary packages for 4.4. Once you have XFree86-4 installed using the port, do a portupgrade of the -Server port using the 4.3.99 snapshot port: portupgrade -f -o x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server-snap XFree86-Server Then you need to grab the via_drv.o file from the XFree86 binary package. I just installed the whole thing to a temp dir, then copied over the driver module. From XFree86.0.log: (II) LoadModule: via (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o (II) Module via: vendor=The XFree86 Project compiled for 4.4.0, module version = 4.1.30 Module class: XFree86 Video Driver ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.7 -Brian ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
