I couldn't find much of documents. I run few FreeBSD versions on MacBook VMWare. Do we have a different driver for VMWare or go by MacBook's? I looked at dmesg of another laptop and that reports "Radeon". However, I don't find any "drm" in FreeBSD VMWare dmesg at all. I'm not sure which driver FreeBSD has been picking up.
