Re: HEADS UP: add "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" to your kernel config!

All,

Make sure to add "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" to your custom kernel
config files, or things like X.Org will refuse to work with the
new kernel that includes fixed ioctl(2) API. Recompiling the
relevant ports is another option.

Other than X what else are we talking about here?

. UPDATING
Log:
The ioctl(2) API has changed, and some ioctl command codes too.
Hint users to add "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" to their kernel config
files, so that X.Org and friends still work without recompiling.
