only on 4.8, and not yet on 4.9.

----Only CLI is provided as of now, but you can expect a new and

I was wondering about 3dmd support too, especially on FreeBSD 5.x.

The last time I tried it, on a 5.1-Release box, you had to apply a 
binary patch to make it work, as described in this old message from the 
freebsd-current list.

It's kind of an ugly process to have to go through.
