+      <p>The FreeBSDDesktop team is happy to announce the availability of
+	<tt>graphics/drm-next-kmod</tt>. This port for &os; CURRENT
+	(amd64) provides support for the <tt>amdgpu</tt>,
+	<tt>i915</tt>, and <tt>radeon</tt> DRM
+	modules using the <tt>linuxkpi</tt> compatibility framework.
+	The port currently corresponds to DRM from Linux 4.9 and is in
+	an experimental state. It works reliably for a lot of testers
+	with modern GPU hardware (AMD HD7000 series/Tahiti to Polaris
+	and Intel HD3000/Sandy Bridge to Skylake). Broader testing and
+	reporting/fixing of bugs is appreciated.</p> </body>
