include sources for their X drivers, it would make life so much easier.

The video chip is a Castle Rock with mpeg2 decoder.
The Linux driver of the epia-m is made of 2 piece, a kernel module and a
X module.
Both are only binary, and the installation is a pain because you can't
recompile the
kernel, you must use the original kernel.
For example you can't patch the

If the linux XFree86 4.x driver was correctly written you should be able
to dump it into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers and use it.
One of the goals with XFree86 4.x was that the X server modules be OS
independent.

Hello, Matt,
with your copious free time and this new baby, what would you think of porting
over the ehci driver from NetBSD over to FreeBSD (this will enable USB2.0)

I tried that. It got close. *very* close to running, but the via

I can shim the two dependancies into via_drv.o but the via driver still

An additional note on the M 9000. I have not been able to get X11 to
