In fact, with recent drm-next bits, I can even suspend and resume with my Skylake notebook, something that has rarely worked before, and applications that used to crash deterministically (e.g., Thunderbird when opening an OAuth window) are now working fine. Overall, this is a very nice experience! > > Thank you! > > > Jon > -- > Jonathan Anderson > jonathan@FreeBSD.org I am using this same configuration on a notebook with Intel Skylake and it is working similarly well. With the -video-intel, my system would reliably freeze up upon any operation seeming to involve lots of screen updates, such as window resizing and video. With modesetting these issues are gone. My system now runs reliably without image corruption, freezes, or panics. Suspend and resume are also working. The only two things that are missing are backlight control and GLX. The error is (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering So I suspect I made a mistake somewhere in building the ports and need to redo this. I am very happy with the progress that has been made; this now allows me to run FreeBSD as my primary OS as I no longer have to work in a VM within Linux. Theron Tarigo
