Solved Small X.Org metapackage and repository for some FreeBSD users

How you maybe know there's a some problem on FreeBSD with using integrated GPU in new processors SandyBridge and IviBridge. You can read everywhere about it. For using new Xorg drivers you must compile Xorg and drivers by yourself with
Code:
WITH_NEW_XORG=true
WITH_KMS=true
in /etc/make.conf.

I didn't find .tbz packages with new driver and X.Org, so I decided to help some people who use SandyBridge's GPU on desktop or any others :)

I made metapackage named x4intel, which contains xorg-server-1.10.6,1, xf86-video-intel-2.17, xterm and input drivers. Now it's only 2D, but after 9.1 released I'll remake it and will add Mesa for OpenGL.

To install you just need to write:

Code:
#pkg_add http://justsomelessons.16mb.com/freebsd/x4intel/x4intel.tbz
and after some minutes you'll have video-acceleration.

You can see html-viewed repo there. I don't have FTP yet...

Leave requests please and sorry for my english... I just learn it :)
