I'll try to take a stab at that tonight. the tl;dr version is: - checkout this branch: git clone https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics.git -b drm-next-4.7 - compile the world+kernel of this checkout. the normal process of building the freebsd world from source works in this checkout. - once you are running the appropriate world+kernel configure this new pkg repository (I put this in a file named /usr/local/pkg/repo/FreeBSD-ports.repo for example): FreeBSD-ports: { url: "http://www.bsddesktop.com/images/120amd64-ports-graphics-xserver-mesa-next/" enabled: yes } - install appropriate Xorg Intel Xorg driver and XFCE4 desktop environment packages like so: $ pkg install -r FreeBSD-ports xorg xf86-video-intel xfce The instructions for building and installing a fresh world from source are better documented in the handbook here: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html Cheers, -p -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org nomadlogicLA
