Yes, we should update DRM (so in the kernel) as often as we can. For stable releases (stable/10 now, stable/11 in the near future), we will also try to merge changes if we can. But I hope we can provide DRM in the Ports tree as well. Currently, we provide DRM for FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE in x11-drivers/drm-kmod. This is DRM from stable/9 + i915 hw context, required by Mesa 9.2+. If we can continue to update this port for newer stable releases, this would be the most convenient solution for end users. Beside DRM, the rest of the graphics stack lives in the Ports tree and is quite up-to-date now. --=20 Jean-S=C3=A9bastien P=C3=A9dron --xvvgj615i5PIKkxcw7Qji6v4VkwxVHHdK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJWlqM9XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NzA4N0ZEMUFFQUUwRTEyREJDNkE2RjAz OUU5OTc2MUE1RkQ5NENDAAoJEDnpl2Gl/ZTMs94P/0rs20ZdIrEZMC6Hy9WpC/rZ GK7B9OLREDjdUBsWkBOKhGR8/iOLUNbD7Nio8cSF3QZyndm+ac444mPwva5+hfkK HBk5TinzAZ9I/bvSvj+9t/WOJ/gTxqoGaZTzveuLYMBPJIjxhHyizdbffNEQLI5B zSK3nd6oTAH4bI1QvmEyoaWceMuB6SperczUDaFEz3NsgvoIlVNNV1ljSh0tScMD mfFviTf9X+ZpNyMxPrxHgnwHz2rmHuTD1MvOGzP6OtZYpezsb9wik36lTVCKf1hw V4IIW7+oyI+nCXsu4lu9Fp6DkX+ycUw287oE/82THLnIExYxECC2m8N9lAMap4yb NIAA4nCSEG6sy8crDORHQhFOMc5AgvUl8KtPZw29rE6HlqyMDEsmT8npo5ujmfKx hOX49XqrHqKDlRcc/W6mC603vuGeh61ysWzJV5GTqc3cT07RVUSaFUerDSVMFapc fCjlaI1zR7RDbCvI8Uw06cAD5HpmnJ5fxvapojF6iDjpdg/oGz5GCy4AyyOaYDr8 tj9dQ2Ay0cTfHfMavdM/Dagu+VGWxYOZS+QwNP3GFmSTcaJp/4N7T7EjZNKE4E4p 0lvBf22N4UfHyhm82yd+mpP6k1f4C8jVy4e66Fpr/K4xguJUeiia/L+3fkzkuNuI +Ua1o0LyCaH2JBBX/snd =JwdR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xvvgj615i5PIKkxcw7Qji6v4VkwxVHHdK--
