https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247441 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |imp@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #13 from Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> --- The graphics drivers are highly sensitive to many things most other drivers= are not. There's enough churn, even in stable, in the parts of the kernel that matter the graphics team is unable to provide much, if any, support for non-released versions of FreeBSD (plus very recent current and stable branches). There's simply not the resources there to chase down all the variants. Maybe there is something different, maybe not, in the 11.4-PRERELEASE, maybe it will work, maybe not, but the resources in the graphics team aren't such that they can provide support. It's unfortunate, since many other drivers just work unless there's some specific bug fix missing. However, given the wide variety of cards, and the historic sensitivity of the code, it's better to communicate the limits tha= n to suggest the graphics team can help with old versions of FreeBSD. In conversations with the team, I know they'd like to have enough resources to help everybody. Given the size of the team, speed of API changes in -current and Linux, it's hard to find the time. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
