Well, from now on you can recommend also AMD Tahiti up to Polaris alongside the binary Nvidia driver, assuming the system is amd64. :-) > > I wouldn't mind taking care of and feeding the new port if it's > created. Thank you! It does look to me that there is a need for continued support to exist. So we will create a port now and then I will propose removal of drm1 from base so that users of graphics/drm-next-kmod and graphics/drm-legacy-kmod can more easily co-exist in the future. I will probably issue a CFT after the port landed to make sure that everything still works and would much appreciate if people with the hardware could give it a spin. Thank you everybody for your responses! Johannes
