https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D247441 --- Comment #15 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Warner Losh from comment #13) > The graphics drivers are highly sensitive to many things most other drive= rs > are not. Could you elaborate a bit more on this? When DRM bits were in the base, FreeBSD had offered awesome graphics experience, despite that it was claimed those bits were actually not maintained very well. That was just 2-3 years ago, then we started to deteriorate rapidly. What had changed? Why did we allow it? Why no one waived the red flag? > There's enough churn, even in stable, in the parts of the kernel that mat= ter > the graphics team is unable to provide much, if any, support for non-rele= ased > versions of FreeBSD (plus very recent current and stable branches). This just means that there's bad communication and coordination of developm= ent efforts between the graphics team and src team. In other words, our process sucks (that's how our users see it). > Maybe there is something different, maybe not, in the 11.4-PRERELEASE, ma= ybe > it will work, maybe not Well, these "maybenots" make us look pretty bad, that's for sure. I keep receiving emails about more users switching from FreeBSD to GNU/Linux preci= sely because of lack of focus and uncertainty even among developers themselves. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
