Hello, I have recently upgraded my 5.4-STABLE system to the new FreeBSD-6 line, of BETA-3. FreeBSD prokreation 6.0-BETA3 FreeBSD 6.0-BETA3 #3: Sat Aug 27 19:16:28 CEST 2005 root_at_prokreation:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PROKREATION i386 I indeed have to say great job - the system is as snappy as ever, however, I have a few errors that i would believe need fixing before -RELEASE is tagged imho. Firstly, I cannot seem to be able to build my aureal kld to play any sound. I believe the problem is quite trivial, however, I do not know FreeBSD sources well enough to track the error and fix it. Also, the linux_dri port is utterly broken on FreeBSD-6 when using radeon cards. Due to the late improvements by anholt towards a better radeon card support for dri, the drm kernel module radeon.ko /in my case, built into the kernel/ no longer works with terribly old dri libs. The solution I would best see here is bumping emulators/linux_base-suse-9.3 as default linux compat, updating the unhappy ports to play nicely with such an upgrade, and using xorg-dri drivers for linux_dri compatible with the xorg-libs avaliable with emulators/linux_base-suse-9.3. I would gladly help doing that, as I am a little more familiar with ports hacking rather than kernel hacking - far from perfect with it tho ;-) Below follows the aureal-kmod build log. I have filed a pr about it, yet not recieved a confirmation yet with the number to track down, but I will keep it up to date :-) Cheers, /m.
