It's being worked on and the results will be committed to CURRENT in a not so distant future. - Remove the sync USB with NetBSD entry. An import of a new USB subsystem will soon happen. - Extend the linuxulator and regression test entries. --- en/projects/ideas/index.sgml | 67 ++++++------------------------------ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-) diff --git a/en/projects/ideas/index.sgml b/en/projects/ideas/index.sgml index 27e6ecb0d7..ee3d68ae21 100644 --- a/en/projects/ideas/index.sgml +++ b/en/projects/ideas/index.sgml @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ - + %developers; @@ -75,7 +75,6 @@

    Some work has been done, but progress is slow. More manpower is needed. Stephane E. Potvin has begun - implementing HDA support to our sound system and a patch is available here. This - is very experimental, and should not be considered stable code.

    -

    Several extensions to this code have been written in order for at least - minimal support for some chipsets. You can find patches here, - here - and here. - Please note that this is considered very experimental code.

    Update the Linuxulator

    Technical contact: Emulation mailing list, &a.netchild;, Roman Divacky

    FreeBSD provides Linux binary compatibility through a Linux system call table that is invoked when Linux ELF binaries are executed. This implementation should be compared with an up-to-date Linux kernel so that important missing syscalls can be added to ensure that all mainstream - applications continue to work on FreeBSD.

    Roman Divacky is working on updating - the linuxulator as part of Google Summer of Code 2006.

    + applications continue to work on FreeBSD. More information about the current + status can be obtained from the wiki page.
