I'm currently running 9.x and have no plans (at the moment) to run 
-current or move to 10.0. I assume this will be MFC'ed (or whatever the 
current term is these days :) into 9x? Also for anybody "in the know" 
out there, I thought I'd understood from a thread about 6 weeks ago that 
"fixed KMS" support was going to be integral for getting haswell 
graphics to work with the intel X driver. Is there anybody out there 
(yet) that is running on a haswell system that has gotten the native 
driver to work? Right now I'm still stuck using the VESA driver. Is 
anybody working on it? I bought the system figuring that it was SO new 
that things wouldn't work so it wasn't much of a shock, but we're 3+ 
months into the life of the new hardware ..... just figured that there 
was probably work going on to make things supported, and if so can 
somebody share the progress made?

Thanks,
