I went through some code trying to find out why the wrong modules were loaded, and I discovered that I previously commented out this line in x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel/Makefile: EXTRA_PATCHES+= ${PATCHDIR}/extra-i915kms This patch is for -CURRENT since the name of the module changed when kib@ imported the code to -CURRENT: - intel->drmSubFD = drmOpen("i915", busid); + intel->drmSubFD = drmOpen("i915kms", busid); Since I built -CURRENT from around 3 months ago and an up-to-date ports tree, I had to remove this patch to make it work. So it fell apart when I tried to upgrade to the lastest -CURRENT... Apparently portsnap doesn't overwrite local modifications to the ports tree unless there are updates (unlike csup), so the patch wasn't included until I discovered my mistake. Next time I'll keep a list of local changes for my ports tree, so I don't shoot myself in the foot again. Sorry for the noise. -- Denny Lin
