[Bug 289174] The need to recognize NetBSD's downstream X.org customization and Xenocara

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289174

--- Comment #7 from [email protected] ---
How does NetBSD's X.org repository compare to the one that FreeBSD uses? Aside
from FreeBSD uses ports, and NetBSD uses its own git.

It may be better if FreeBSD uses the same BSD build system that NetBSD does. I
question whether freedesktop wants that. There's also advanced drivers from
NetBSD, that FreeBSD can import. EXA for improved 2D acceleration, and the VC4
driver for VideoCoreIV for 2D acceleration for ARM64 (Raspberry Pi). Would
these be better upstream, when Linux may already have their drivers upstream?
If so NetBSD may have better ones. Also, these NetBSD drivers may be
permissive.

Is it possible for the three major BSD's plus other BSD's to work together on
the same X client repository?
