Great drm-current-kmod works for you. drm-current-kmod DOES NOT work on my i386 laptop. > The reason to remove old software from base is evident. > The same reason holds for ports as well. The ports team > are also a limited resource. The drm-legacy-kmod port works. It would never have been broken (and it would be unneeded) if the *working* drm2 code in base were never disconnected from the build. The drm-legacy-kmod port would not have been broken for a month if an exp-run were done when modifications to pmap.h had been done. I get it. drm-current-kmod works for you, so lets penalize everyone else by removing working code. -- Steve
