Radeon KMS

Does anyone know if the FreeBSD Foundation has considered paying a developer to work on radeon KMS? The increasing bitrot in UMS for xf86-video-ati is really sad. Combined with the features that require KMS, not to mention the newer hardware that requires it, I have to wonder how much longer I can stick with FreeBSD on my desktop :-(

I've been waiting for the first "release" of the Intel KMS stuff. While it's not the same, a lot of the work will apply, and it has advanced pretty quickly. Now is probably not too soon a time to send them an email.
 
Yeah, I just dropped them a brief, polite email, pointing out the sad state of the radeon driver and asking for their assistance in helping remedy the situation :)
