Is there a way to install BSD Kernel Extensions on Mac OS X. The reason I ask is that I found an article on the net stating that earlier versions of Mac OS X were based on BSD. And I have a GMAx4500 graphics card which is supported on BSD, So i think it would help alot of people here at osx86.net if there was a way to port, or find a way to use BSD kernel extensions on Mac OS X. It would help alot of people with unsupported graphics and other hardware.

This might sound nuts…But BSD is based off Unix and so is Mac OS X...

Any comments? Evevn if they say I am crazy..heh..heh..^_^
