I did goto the port
and did a "make install clean". It seemed to build fine. Just don't know if there is any other configuration that needs to be done besides adding
to the loader.conf ? I'll do some more reading of the man pages for bwi, but so far I'm still in the dark looking for...

Hope your still out there wblock in FreeBSD forum land somewhere. I finally got around to installing the "bwi" port and then adding to my /boot/loader.conf

if_urtw_load="YES"
if_bwi_load="YES"
When I run the command

I've successfully installed 9-STABLE on my 15" Powerbook PPC. I successfully got Xorg up and running and after a week of a make install clean in the x11/gnome2 port I now have Gnome up and running. I'm able to connect to the web via ethernet and load a browser. Still need to install firefox...
Thank you for the great resource. As a FreeBSD Newbie it helps HUGE. The nice thing is that my Install of 9.0 FreeBSD Stable on my old 15" PowerBook is a side project of "trial and error." Not being my main machine, I have no problem starting from a fresh install from disk and taking it one...

So I've discovered that the pipe has been broken for over a "year". So when compiling for xorg-drivers-7.5.1, is there a way to bypass the dependency of the /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/iput/citro_so?
Is this a function of modifying the Makefile?
I'm in the middle of installing xorg on a 9.0-STABLE PowerPC. I get the following error during my make install:
