Re: ATI on FreeBSD! FireGL Linux Driver Port (New Version)

Fantastic!

Yup, I'll update the README with this information. (xorg-snap incompatibility)

Sorry for my absence for a few days, but here is the current agenda and 
status:

The amd64 version is about 50% ready with the help of a donated amd64 shell.

I have been sidetracked however, by some bugs in the fireglcontrolpanel.

Once these fireglcontrolpanel bugs are squared away I will resume work on the 
amd64 port and release a simultaneous i386 and amd64 version with all of the 
updates.

I'm also going to be expanding the documentation provided a fair deal to help 
get people started. (In my opinion the official ATI docs severely lack and 
expect the user to use their configuration utilities solely. They offer 
little to no xorg.conf samples and so on.)

It's very important to me that we get what we have polished and working as 
much as possible before complicating issues by adding a kernel module.

Once this has been accomplished, I will resume work on the kernel module 
required for the 3D DRI.
