If so, drm-kmod kernel module is needed, however the one from pkg will cause kernel panic since 12.1 uses 12.x packages, which containing a build of the module that is only for 12.0... A known issue: https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/issues/183 It must be built from its port instead: $ make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod install Binary packages may be used otherwise.
