No, I don't know, but I'd be interested to know if you try it :^) !!! I
can tell you that the FreeBSD Linux emulation is userland only, and no
device-level code should be expected to work. If IDL depends on any
kernel-specific code (like modules), then forget it. I don't _think_ it
does. I could only guess that accelerated graphics could cause a problem,
but I think IDL can implement OpenGL in software only. You might try to
post this to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc and see if anyone has tried it.
