Hi Theron,

Ok - it tried this:
make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod deinstall clean install
Reboot
make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod deinstall
cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod
make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 /* make install failed suggested to set
this flag */
[drm-kmod-g20190710 gets installed]

this seemed to work but startx fails again (same framebuffer error).

I also tried to "kldload drm.ko" - still no luck!

BTW, if I go back to 12.0 RELEASE, would that solve the problem?
Ultimately, I need to rebuild with latest sources anyways to experiment
something w/ TCP stack,
so hopefully going back to 12.0 should fix - thoughts, please?

Any other ideas? Thanks a lot!
