It will be done as soon as possible, but not for a few months.
In the fall I am going to slowly merge in the changes in
/n/sources/contrib/rsc, one by one, with sufficient testing
periods inbetween to isolate problems. Things beside vesa
are different in that code, and some of those things break
existing card support.

Jmk has a Radeon card (either a 9200 or 9600) with DVI
output. If someone sends him a Radeon driver that works
on that card, then it will go into the distribution. Until then,
it won't. That's been the story for probably a year now
but no one has done it. Are you volunteering?
