I thought that we ran XFree86 on non-i386 NetBSD.  (^&

In any case, you would have to follow the link I cited and ask the guy
doing the work.  He's working on a ``BSD'' branch of the DRI code (really
a FreeBSD branch, from what he seemed to say, that will support NetBSD to
the extent that it doesn't break FreeBSD's support).

I would have thought that, being kernel changes to the OS, the work should
be done on an OS CVS branch.  But, maybe it makes sense if you understand
the problem and DRI (I do not).


Is it the right way to solve the problem?  I dunno.
