When something changes in CURRENT that might affect the drm drivers there's always a delay until the drm-kmod packages have been rebuilt against the new source. That's fine, thanks 👍 My frustration was less about instability (not at all about any delay); more about the sense that I might not _predictably_ get myself back to a working desktop environment. That sense was extraordinary but :-) I'm not complaining, I know to expect the unexpected with -CURRENT. > If you're frequently updating your -CURRENT system, it's safest to build drm-kmod from source at the same time. Either with ports or from the github repo. I built with poudriere but forgot, the jail was not particularly recent. Updating now, poudriere jail -u -j current > We're working on trying to reduce this lag but to avoid it completely is impossible when living in -CURRENT. Understood. Not a problem for me. ---- Incidentally re: suspend and resume, I think I stumbled across a good workaround for the current situation. I'll await a reply from Pete Wright (to my previous e-mail) before sharing. Best, Graham
