 The applied fixes continue successful building of
 sysutils/libpciaccess 0.13.1 on both DragonFly 3.5-DEVELOPMENT i386
 and x86_64, and in addition allow successful use of the latest modular
 xorg server using the x86-video-vesa driver.  Thanks!
 
 The decision that needs to be made however is on the NetBSD side.
 libpciaccess builds, but it would appear from earlier testing that at
 this moment the x86-video-vesa driver is not functional for NetBSD
 6.99.19 amd64.  Of course NetBSD has the better option of simply using
 the native xsrc instead of setting the X11_TYPE to be modular.  As the
 x86-video-vesa driver is the fallback for all sorts of graphics cards
 that do not have KMS kernel modesetting support, in effect pkgsrc
 X11_TYPE=modular
 support is being dropped for NetBSD and perhaps other operating
 systems if there is neither KMS support in the kernel nor patches to
 libpciaccess for legacy IO.
