https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D237544 --- Comment #9 from Emmanuel Vadot <manu@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Alexey Dokuchaev from comment #8) > Ideally graphics/drm-*-kmod ports should have never been tied to a partic= ular version of *FreeBSD*,=20 > but tracked that of *Linux* instead, so users could choose between e.g. = drm-4.11-kmod, drm-4.16-kmod, or drm-5.4-kmod regardless of whether they're= running 12.x or -CURRENT. In theory that could have been done, but that would have been a nightmare to manage. Also I don't see why we should give the possibility to users to install old drivers, instead we should fix bugs in newer version if one have a problem, something that I and others do regularly based on reports. None of us are upstream DRM developers and we don't know the code base much as we only loo= k at some parts when we have some problems. You can't expect us drm-kmod people (mostly wulf@ Greg V and I currently) to magically fix every bug. You can't also expect us to have all supported hardware to test. > My two-core, ten-year-old desktop at $work with Radeon HD 4350/4550 (RV71= 0) is running 2019'ish -CURRENT with drm-legacy-kmod-g20190213 and works fl= awlessly for many months, rebooting only when there's a power outage. Congratulation on running old code on old hardware. RV710 is 14 years old = not ten, and in the GPU world 4 years is a *lot*. It's also using the radeonkms driver which have more or less been abandonware upstream for quite some time and again none of us are AMD/Radeon developers. > Both 2D (movies) and 3D (games) are full and properly accelerated, CPU is= mostly idle, I can e.g. build -jX LLVM and watch some TV show fullscreen w= ith no stuttering --=20 > something I cannot do on the four-core 2018 laptop with recent DRM bits.= =20=20 And something that *I* can do on all my Intel or AMD recent hardware. Did you open a PR here or on the github page for drm-kmod so we can (maybe) help you ? (I don't remember a PR from you) > Situation with graphics on FreeBSD had never been worse, AFAIR. :-( This kind of comment is really hurtful, demotivating and simply mean. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
