It may be a good idea to add a pkg-message to the drm-legacy-kmod port to point to the xf86-video-ati-legacy port; otherwise, one may have no clue as to which port to install. An entry in ports/UPDATING may also be appropriate. Thanks for putting up with my harping on the demise of sys/drm2 and the issues with -legacy. Someday my 4 year old hardware will be replaced, but it works and I have no funds to do the replacement. -- Steve
