&gt; Hello Jan.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I&#39;m trying to install KDE Plasma 6 with Wayland on a fresh vm based on<br>
&gt; FreeBSD 14.1,following your instructions,but some point is not clear for<br>
&gt; me. When you say :<br>
<br>
You can stop here. FreeBSD has no KMS/DRM drivers for virtual GPUs.<br>
drm-kmod no longer provides vmwgfx.ko. Wayland can still be used<br>
if GPU is passed through (making it unavailable on the host OS)<br>
or nested within Xorg session (using its BIOS/UEFI drivers[1]).<br>
<br>
[1] BIOS/UEFI drivers for KMS hasn&#39;t been ported yet, see<br>
    <a href="https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/269" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/269</a><br>;
    Such drivers lack hardware acceleration thus not a substitute for<br>
    the missing vmwgfx.ko or DRM-based vboxvideo, virtgpu.<br>
<br>
&gt; 1) Should I make the installation of plasma5-kwin from ports even if I want<br>
&gt; to install KDE Plasma 6 ?<br>
&gt; 2) How should I apply the patches ? Can you tell me if the procedure that I<br>
&gt; want to follow is correct ?<br>
<br>
Please, contact kde@ team for help with Plasma. I neither maintain nor<br>
use Plasma thus trying to help will lead to a burnout.<br>
