Marc? Yes, and I've already accumulated about 10,000 lines of changes for this. I don't have anything working yet as I'm still dealing with a number of XFree86 infrastructure issues. Mostly SunOS/Linux differences and PCI handling. It'll be at least a month before I feel comfortable with making this work available to others, whether through CVS or not. At this point, even its compilability isn't as stable as I'd like it.
