<p>We were generally short on time this quarter. We made less
progress than expected on all fronts.</p>
<p>The alternate pkg(8) repository, built with WITH_NEW_XORG, is
now available. This alleviates the need for users to rebuild
their ports with WITH_NEW_XORG. See the announcement, linked
above for further information.</p>
<p>Thanks to a contribution from Jan Kokemüller, Radeon 32bit
ioctls are now working on 64bit hosts. This was tested
successfully with Wine and StarCraft II on &os; 9.x and 11.
This required modifications to emulators/i386-wine-devel so
that it works with WITH_NEW_XORG, and the creation of a new
port, libtxc_dxtn, to support texture compression required by
StarCraft II. We haven't yet had the time to polish
everything, so this still requires manual steps.</p>
<p>The DRM generic code update is ready, but it breaks the
current i915 driver. Therefore, the i915 driver must be
updated before anything is committed.</p>
<p>Compared to last status report, OpenCL test programs are
running fine now, thanks to upgrades and fixes to libc++ and
Clang. Relevant ports are still not ready to hit the ports
tree unfortunately.</p>
