--- Comment #4 from rsmith@xs4all.nl ---
On a more general note, I think there could be a *little* more guidance w.r=
.t.
graphics/drm.

Even as a longtime FreeBSD user (since 5.x) it sometimes confuses the heck =
out
of me what you need to get some graphics functionality working!

If xf86-video-ati-18.1 requires drm-kmod, shouldn't it depend on it?

Or if that is not possible because some graphics cards might not need it, at
least a pkg-message like "Depending on your hardware, this driver might
*require* the drm-kmod port."

I saw the message in UPDATING, but to me "It is recommended" !=3D "your har=
dware
might not work correctly without it".
