Xorg for alpha

["Naruaki.Etomi" <nullnilaki%gmail.com@localhost>]

Dear Alpha port user

I cannot speak English very well,
but I'd appreciate it if you could answer the following questions.

Alpha port still sticks X11R6 (XFree) based server for
PCI TGA and TURBOchannel SFB/HFB/TFB etc.

radeonfb support for Alpha the other day.

Unfortunately Xorg "radeon" driver is wrong on Alpha, but Xorg "wsfb"
driver is work fine!
I guess TGA and SFB has fewer users and will also work with "wsfb" driver.

I think it's time to switch Alpha port to Xorg server.
Please let me know what you think.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully yours
