It is always nice to receive updates on the situation of gfx drivers, since some people seem to be asking about these things ... so I can just ask them to subscribe to this mailing list ;D I haven't been using UXA since 10.1, SNA is stable enough nowadays. The only problem I have with SNA with 10.x is that enabling more than 2 outputs causes X.org to hang. With the updated driver from 3.8 this is no longer an issue :P On 24.04.2016 23:18, Matthew Macy wrote: >=20 >=20 >=20 > ---- On Tue, 12 Apr 2016 12:57:34 -0700 Matthew Macy <mmacy@nextbsd.or= g> wrote ----=20 > > There seems to be some confusion about the state of drm-next-3.9.
