Thanks Lazarus, Although I have already seen that.

I am looking for somewhat more detailed information instead of wondering helpless in KLOC just to even understand it let alone port it.

I don’t know what TTM is… which probably means I don’t know of any good tech docs for it.

As far as I am aware, we need to update our VM a little as well to get GEM to hook in correctly. It should be possible to use the latest FreeBSD work now.

I really hope Johannes work slowly flows into head instead of ending up as a half done massive patch set where someone just has to start again if he is unable to complete the port.

Justin, you do heaps of Googling ;) Do you know of some half decent TTM technical docs? Because I just seen bits and bobs scattered around, mostly about the old TTM before it was rewritten..

Ta,
Edward.
