Very strange. You said you have drm-kmod installed, but you get the "it's obsolete" message from something installed by drm-fbsd12.0-kmod?

I also don't know if the installation location (!) does differ, or if something can overwrite files... If I understood the documentation correctly, drm-kmod should not be used anymore, in favor of one of the two options mentioned above. > > > > There now is a "legacy" package that is to be used. > > > > I haven't tried this yet, but it should provide the same > > > > functionality.

Again, that should not issue the abandonware message initially discussed. Very strange... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
