I'm unable to use X and friends on 12=2E1-STABLE on an
Intel based box (Sandy Bridge)=2E
pkg install drm-kmod
followed by
echo 'kld_list=3D"/boot/modules/i915kms=2Eko"'>>/etc/rc=2Econf
on reboot results in a Fatal trap 9=2E
pkg delete drm-kmod, followed by a pkg install drm-legacy-kmod
leaving the same in rc=2Econf(5)=2E Results in:
drmn0: This code is obsolete abandonware=2E Install the graphics/drm-legacy-k=
mod pkg
ermm=2E=2E=2E That's what I just did!
Attempting to use X and friends with the legacy kmod still
in place Results in most things crashing (dumping core on signal 11)=2E
Has the i915 simply been dropped=2E But nobody bothered
to announce it?

Thanks in advance for any possible solutions=2E
