I'm wondering if this branch has been kept up-to-date with all the activity regarding the i915kms driver? Also, I freshly installed 11-RC2 last night, and following the instructions at https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/wiki made a kernel from drm-next-4.6-11-STABLE. However, it immediately panic'd at boot with a kernel page fault. As it was at the end of my day, I didn't investigate further, but may do so tonight. My current goal is to get X running on my XPS13-9350 (Skylake i7, Iris 540@3200x1800). Do I need to be on 12-CURRENT to accomplish that? Is there a single page somewhere detailing all the necessary steps to get X running with the recent driver work? As I understand it, I need to: 1) Build a kernel from the FreeBSDDesktop fork, because there's some updated stuff needed by the i915kms driver; 2) Build xorg-server, xf86-*, and mesa(?) from https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-ports-graphics using the "xserver-mesa-next" branch to get X 1.18. 3) Configure X to use the "intel" driver with "sna" acceleration; 4) Profit! Finally, a huge THANK YOU to Matt Macy and everyone else working to get FreeBSD graphics & X11 up-to-date.
