glx module
I installed release 2.2.0 and added the xorg packages including modular-xorg-server. When I start X I get a message Failed to load module glx (module does not exist, 0) This prevents the xorg.conf which uses the intel driver from starting. If I change the xorg.conf file to use the vesa driver I still get the message but X starts. Is this a problem with the package and how do I get the module? Thanks

As well as: modular-xorg-fonts modular-xorg-libs IF the modular-xorg-server has not pulled them as depends. ls /var/db/pkg/xf86-video-* will list 'em. OTOH - not all vid cards have finished drivers. I'm in VESA mode on one box with 1680x1050 screen until a newer VIA/S3-Unichrome is tuned-up. OTOH, VESA is damn decent these days... Bill

Yes, would be nice if we could integrate firmware loading better with the corresponding pkgsrc packages, but iwi-firmware3 seems to install firmware image to /usr/pkg/libdata/if_iwi/. I'd rather have them in the root partition. We would also need to check whether we need EULA handling that e.g. NetBSD has. Regards, Johannes

Is that licensing on a per-user basis, or would we need something by-platform, like how the Mozilla Foundation requires (required?) a license to use the Firefox logo?

HAMMR fs limits
Matt, Is HAMMER ready for this? http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=383tag=rbxccnbzd1 35 bits stored. .. per each *electron* . Stackable to 70-bits per electron. So far. Somebody must have anticipated signed integers and parity.. ;-) Bill
