Hi all,

http://cubidou.nerim.net

I made a little update of my port.

The good news is, OSAGP should be considered stable (I've been using it
for some time, and since yesterday at AGP4X instead of 2X).

This will leave me some more time to work on making the OpenGL libraries
work. GLX still isn't enabled when XFree86 starts, for some yet unknown
reason. For libGL.so, it's even more complicated. Since I want it to run
in a native NetBSD environment, I need to fill the lacking symbols from
FreeBSD pthreads library. NetBSD's libpthread.so provides me with
sched_sync, but I still need an __error symbol.

The __error function in FreeBSD just returns &errno, so it can be added in
some way. I could really use some help on how to play with ELF shared libs
loading.

Help is always appreciated anyway, if you can test it, tell me how it
goes, and provide me with the relevant logs. TIA.
