I made this strange PatchSet against RELENG_6. ;)
It can be found at
http://generic.0xfce3.net/freebsd/20050914-kgi4bsd.patch
. It applied cleanly on a 6-BETA3, I think. If it isn't working on a
recent RELENG_6_0 or RELENG_6 I have a working tarball from which I
could create an update for the patch.
best regards,
Gordon
