In the Git branch, the diff with Linux 3.8 is quite small so it's > shouldn't be that difficult. I see how my finger error on the mouse mangled the subject line (now corrected). So I suppose I make buildworld, installworld and "regular" kernel, then switch to drm-i915-update-38 and build kernel from there (INSTKERNNAME=kerneli915). What I did, instead of nextboot, was go to the loader prompt, unload, then load /boot/kerneli915/kernel. That worked. Not sure how nextboot would work when there multiple partitions and multiple OSes installed on hard drive. Tom
