Hi,

I had to comment out this exact line to get my system to boot successfully.
I actually have "Pro-level NVIDIA=C2=AE Quadro=C2=AE P500 graphics" on my P=
52S
Thinkpad.
Not sure if 12.1 has native support for this, or do I need to
download/build this.

Per the discussions on this topic, I think I should stay away from pkg
..drm-kmod

Thank you
