Description Simun Mikecin 2006-01-04 20:40:06 UTC 
This port works on FreeBSD/amd64.
Currently amd64 is not listed as a supported platform in the port Makefile.

The fix was reverted by anholt on 2006-06-25. I have tested both 
skype and skype-devel on a 8.x/amd64 system with linux_dri 
installed (only_for_archs overridden) - and they work without any 
problem. But google-earth causes an immediate xorg crash. 

Many apps depending on linux_dri are already marked as i386-only. 
I suggest we allow linux_dri (as well as skype) on amd64 and mark 
whatever linux binary apps do not seem to work on amd64 as 
i386-only.
Comment 4 Simun Mikecin 2007-11-22 08:29:54 UTC 
I agree with your suggestion of allowing linux_dri on FreeBSD/amd64. =
This way we will unbreak many linux apps on amd64. But unfortunatelly =
linux emulation of DRI does not work on FreBSD/amd64 yet, so linux GL =
apps will use software rendering instead of DRI. For some apps (eg. =
skype) that is sufficient, but for some (like some linux games) =
performance will suffer to the point of being unusable.
