Hi, 

I try to get my LCD 1024x768 working with X11. It's driven by a Chips
and Technologies 65545 vga-card, which can drive both a CRT and LCD.

I need to set some registers in the card.

For Linux there's a program dRegs that can do it. I can not compile the
sources for FreeBSD because there's one fuzzy linux system call, for
which a don't know the FreeBSD equivalent:

i386_iopl(int)

I think it stands for i386 input output port list. May be a similar
command is defined somewhere in XF86.

The friendly guy who wrote the program and the driver uses linux and
doesn't know FreeBSD that well.. He thought the equivalent would look
like sysi86(int).

Does anybody have this program (dRegs.c) compiled?
